I shaved my rear fenders, is it to late to roll?
So i'm trying to get my new wheels to fit. I shaved my rear fenders instead of rolling them before doing enough reserch.
My wheels are no where close to tucking if i go over bumps. i didn't trim them flush though, their is a good 1/8th inch left on the fender, and was wondering if i could get away with rolling the fender? or is it too risky? here is a pic below.
Also the fronts wheels do not clear the calipers, I need a 5mm spacer to clear. But then i would also need extended wheel studs, and camber kit. I would rather just have the wheels notched out where it hits. what kind of tool should i use to notch the wheels? angle grinder?

what can i do to avoid rust? I was talked into shaving before doing the research for myself
I had heard that it's risky rolling rear fenders and getting a wavy look at certain angles. so that's definitely not enough lip to roll it then?

honestly, if anyone ever consider rolling fenders, be ready to have money to fix wavyness or cracking of paint. even for people who are good at fender rolling, not all cars are the same. dont be like the rest of the people with ghetto looking cheap wavy fenders and thinking their car is cool.
and for the rust, all you have to do is bring it to a body shop and they will will sand,seal and paint it and you wont have to worry about rusting as long as they removed all previous rust and that your set fully clears the fenders for future rubbing which can cause the same problem.

The lip you shaved off is the part where the quarter panel meets the wheel well. These two panels are welded together to reinforce the structural rigidity. Shaving that close means you remove those welding spots in the process. After some driving on the rough road, chassis stress may cause your quater panel to split from the wheel well and that will create another level of problem.
