Default Rolling the fender lip for 325/50/15 m/ts

Well after spending a half day trying to get these 325's to fit. I took it around the block for a test drive and the fender lip actaully cut into the side of the tire deep. So Now I need to roll the fender lips to clear these tires. I had a couple questions thow. Is it easy to do this job with a fender tool?? And for everyone that did roll the fenders was that enough cleareance? I'm worried once I roll it the tire will still hit the top fender because it's still very close to the tire. Any info would help. Also the drivers side tire sticks out just alittle more then the right side - To fix this problem would I need a adjust. panhard rod. I have a non-adjustiable

Yea you would need adjustable phb to fix that. Instead of rolling my fenders i used a grinder and ground them down to where they were flush and didnt hit anymore then I used a burr bit and cleaned up the edges really good and coated them with rubberized undercoat. Turned out really good and it looks factory

I'm about to roll mine, though not for any reason other than having access to the tool and forseeing myself stuffing another wide tire in there down the road... I'll let you know how it goes for a first-timer.

Should be a painless job with a grinder or a fender roller tool.

Post up some pics when you get it done. I will post up some of my fenders after I used the grinder on them
