Put wider wheels and tires on the car. The lip on the finder needs to be pounded out/up.

Any tips/tricks?

-thanks!

One old trick involved placing a baseball bat between the tire and fender and adding weight (friends?) to the back of the car until you could place it in neutral and rull the car back and fourth to "roll" the inner fender lip slightly. Just work slow and be careful (don't crack the paint by putting too much weight in the car or working too fast). Or, check with your local body shop. Good luck.

Yes, baseball bat trick works. Use an Alum bat, someone drives car forward and back slow, while you work bat through fender well. Paint will crack on inner fender well lip so be sure to repair. Go slow take your time. Performed this on my lowered '95 with 315/35-17's worked great... Good luck.

I'd only do this on a car you're planning
to repaint (and maybe Bondo).

I've rolled the lip on an older vehicle,
just used body dolly and a baby sledge
with a round-ish face. You'd like to have
a dolly that's either flat or, ideally,
concave to match the fender lip's present
curve. Good luck finding that, though.
A 5-lb block of steel from the recycling
center would do.

I just removed the wheel, got up under
and commenced to pounding.

This was a $300 car, though, not $30,000.
So your technique might want a little more
refinement.

A thin leather wrap on the dolly might
save you some paint scuffing, but I'd
expect you will not avoid repainting both
sides.
