Rolling fenders on a 3rd Gen?

Ok heres my question...
I have an '84 Z28...I'm in the process of tubbing the car.
Using MT 33x21.5 Sportsman Pro tires...
these tires fit in the stock wheel well but only like .25" clearance around it....
Can the wheel well be rolled to get .75 or 1"
Or do I need to have them cut and spred and filled w/another piece of quarter panel?

Found it, it's in the july 2001 issue of super chevy pg 82. I thought it was a 3rd gen but they do it on a 4th gen, I guess the methods would be the same. The tool is a chicane "jimmy" $60 haha, looks like a block of steel with a groove in it, welded to conduit, and painted black
