fender rolling????
the fronts are cake. i did my rears with a pvc pipe and it works great. i did chip paint but read next comment and you will be fine.
use the heat gun and even if you chip the paint its okay. mask off the fender, clean off the chipped paint and paint it black so it doesnt start rusting. it will be in the wheel well anyways and you or anyone else will never notice.

very hard to roll? what are you talking about. i can almost bend it with bare hands. if you want some tough fenders to roll get an E36 4dr.

If you just want your wheels to fit, you should cut the rear. I wouldn't recommend going for the pull unless you really know what you're doing, I've seen all sorts of effed up fenders. If you mess up it will look bad and you'll end up having to pay alot more to a body shop to get them to fix it.

I cut mine and then rolled them, front and back. I left the tabs in on the front so the splashgaurds are intact. Then applied rhinoliner all along the bottoms of the fenders to prevent paint cracking, chips, and any other damage in the case of rubbing in the future...(FYI - I'm not running these wheels anymore but the 20" w/275 in the rear and a camber kit, absolutely no rubbing....) Also, for the record, comments of it making your fenders wobble or whatever are completely untrue.
