rolling the fender?

hey guys i was thinking about running a set of 17x11's out back and from what i hear is that you have to role the fender wells to get em to fit...

so my question is does anyone have any b4 and after pics of that?
and how hard/easy it is?

thanks guys

I rented a heat gun and fender roller from another board member (actually, the site owner...) and did mine and another member's car in an evening. It's not hard. Just take your time and do a little at a time.
