Default fender roll

hello

does anyone has a tutorial in how to roll fender. my right rear wheel is rubbing against the fender and the weird thing is only the right side. not the left side, left side totally clear. would my spring be the cause of this problem ? i have 245/40/18 on the back, i dont really wanna change the tire size

any help would be greatly appreciated

instead of rolling, personally i would choose to shave the fender tab using a belt sander or so. it's safer and easier imho

and about the rubbing, it would be the alignment (camber) setup. maybe one side has a tad more negative camber

baseball bat (the aluminum one if you have it, wood one is fine too)
some big plier and a car jack
lift the car up a bit, bend the fender in with the plier and then use the bat and the wheel as leverage to push the fender in

Warning: could cost a lot if you mess up

Nice to see you are still around Anh.

chicolex,
If the car has not had an alignment in awhile and it is only on one side, I'd get the alignment first. It's good for the car anyway. Deal with the fender if it is still a problem after that.
