From someone that has tried to fix a friends fender shave job with an Eastwood fender roller - Its TOUGH. You will have to put pressure on the outside of the fender to get whats left of the tiny lip to start rolling/bending. If you dont apply enough counterforce you are in a sense beginning to flare or pull your fenders out. They will end up looking like a wavy mess...
At this point I would shave down as far as you can go then take it to a shop to have it sealed properly and coated on the inside. From that point you can "pull" your fenders properly.
You just made the job 100 times tougher. :/

I wish I had a pic...but my friends actually started to seperate the sheet metal and fender skin! I got all the wave ironed out (literally) but they were shaved down so much we got the seperation after pulling. He had to have a shop spot weld, fill and coat the one fender for piece of mind. In the end, shave OR roll but dont do both IMO.

^ there is nothing wrong with shaving fenders vs rolling at all I did my old Acura TL-S when I was rocking my VS-XX but i did a good job lol and my set up wasnt poking past my fenders so it worked just perfectly. The OP needed more of a pull which would have been easier to do when rolling fenders still can be done just gota find the right guy and take your time.

^ lol you confusing me..... basically OP has some aggressive offsets on his ride meaning that shaving the inner fender liner was not enough. now he needs to find someone that is capable of pulling the fenders slightly to make it fit better.

So the guys that like poke, and dont tuck, aren't they risking hitting the tires all the time and messing up their fenders?

i shaved mine completely and the only way i see my fender and queater panel seperating is if I were to try and pull it... If i were to do anything it would be custom work like nmpeter did. So if i were you I would continue to shave it down because if you try and roll at this point you will probably sepearate like mikelucci said...

But in the mean time i'm just going to not go near my car until i figure out what i'm going to do before i just mess it up more.
