HOW TO roll fender lip?

I have question for those of you who have experience

What is the easiest way to roll the fender lip on a 2002 Camaro. I'm getting ready to slap on some 19x10.5 ZO6 wheels in the rear. I have read in several other threads that most people have rolled the fender lip on the rear fenders. I guess I'm just trying to be causious so i don't damage the fender.

Info much appreaciated guys!!

I would look into some shops locally that rent tools. There is an actual lip roller out there and it would be the only way I would do it. I actually cut mine in small sections with a dremel/grinder and then hammered the little tabs up lightly but I wouldnt recommend doing it that way lol. I tried doing the baseball bat thing but it wasnt working out

I saw how to do this in a magazine then bought the tool and never used it. I still have that magazine somewhere as well. Let me know if you want the tool and mag., we can go from there if you like. I paid $70 or so for it.

I think I'll try to rent a fender tool here in town, not that I don't want your fender bending tool Forgiven. But if I'm only using it once, why buy it when you can rent it?
If I can't find one then I'll try to use the sledgehammer.
We'll see, maybe by next week.

be careful with renting them. a lot of places charge $250.00 up front and give you back $200.00 when you are done.
