Default rolling fenders

I think someone posted some pics of "rolled fenders" a long time ago... so ill ask!

How exactly do you do it???

Also, my front tires are rubing on the lower control arms, are there spacers i can put in to stop this? or does this mean they are out of alignment? my car is 2" lowered, and the fronts are 225/45/17

they actually make a tool for rolling fenders, but the most effecient way ive found is to use a baseball bat.

You can rent a tool for it... or you can do what i did an take an angle grinder w/ a 4" disk, 1/16 cut, an cut a narrow V about every inch or so, take a rubber mallot, and pound the ridge up... you will have some cracking in the paint however...
