Default Fender Rolling

How do you do it? I have a problem with the extra metal hitting my tires and cutting them when I hit bumps.

two ways, i have done both,...

1. rent the tool, heat the paint up so it doesnt chip and do it correctly,....

OR

2, grab your self a old wooden baseball bat, jack car up, insert baseball bat, and slowly lower the car and roll it forward putting pressure on the bat,....its very hard to explain but you can look it up online, there is tons of writeups,..

the baseball bat is the old school way the tool is the much safer way,...

I think the baseball bat might work. I don't really care how I do it as long as it works. Only thing is I have a metal bat and a wooden bat, but the wooden bat is autographed.
