You are? You happen to have a fender rolling tool lying around? Or you gonna take the louisville slugger to it?

Just note, I had a heat gun used to heat up the rolled sections. It was done to try to prevent the paint from peeling. It peeled anyway. I just used touch up paint. So far "ok" but then again my car isn't a garage queen

Didn't get around to it tonight, I was thinking about holding a wooden bat up on the lip and very gently tap the bat with a hammer to bend it back a touch. I might rethink this once I get the wheel off and take a look at what I'm working with but it seems to work in my head.

i have this exact problem. Im running 315s on TTMs on my TA. I have the eibach prokit and bilstein shocks. Fits perfectly but if i hit a decent size bump it will slash the tire a bit on only the drivers side.
