Will someone please explain how to "roll the fender lips" to me? I'm sure others want to know as well.

they make a tool jig for it, or you can squeeze a bat between the fender and tire and roll the car back and forth so the bat rolls in conjunction with the car tire. put pressure on the bat over each pass, eventually, itll flatten the lips enough for the tire to no longer rub.

2bav8, when u say itll require some work, do you mean fender rolling? cause i dont even have my fenders on. in fact, my car is mainly a shell. i pulled my motor in order for me to rebuild it and also restore the rest of the car. i just need some wheels that i wont need to run 2 inch spacers for lol. like i do with my 05 bullits.
