Hey guys, just installed some OEM fenders and I think I'm going to rub with my set up. I'm running 17x9 +45 rpf1 255/40/17 hankook rs3s square set up lowered on HKS hipermax SP and buddy club roll center adjusters at around -2.8 camber. Fender is pretty damn close to the tires. I want to roll the fenders with a heat gun and a mallet, is that possible? Should I get a fender roller? I'm trying to avoid the baseball bat or jack handle trick, I don't even think they'll fit lol.

dont do it.
Our fenders are super thin in places and it’s challenging still with a proper fender roller.
takes a skilled hand, LOTS of patience and the RIGHT tools to pull this off and in some cases I have seen it’s not that perfect.
#1 you are 100% going to rub and it catch that fender with the tire. I would not drive much if at all before you roll them.
#2 you could use heat and a mallet but it makes it that much harder to have it look even. If you hit the wrong part of the fender by accident you will cause damage. Either borrow a roller or have someone that knows what they are doing roll them.
