I love how everyone says don't do it but it takes just 1 bad bump or pothole to crunch your fender or quarter panel. Can't roll a fender that has been damaged.

Got my alignment today and it was raining so I couldent take turns too hard, but twice when there was a dip in the road and I hit it while turning I heard the tire rub against the plastic. Would cutting the fender liner fix this?

think about it, you are doing something that can't be undone. I wouldn't do it...

with a slight roll, it looks the same, functions the same, but fits your wheels. i wouldn't pull at all, or roll flat. slight roll is okay.

Rolling fenders does not change the shape of the fenders from the outside. You cant even tell if fenders are rolled unless you rub your fingers on the inside of the fender... I don't understand why everyones against it Its not like you're pulling them. Cut your fender liner, roll your fenders and never have to worry abut damaging your fenders again.

Ok so the only time I seem to rub is when the wheel is turned and the road dips. Would a roll help? And yea im not against rolling. Id rather have a rolled fender than a damaged one.

A roll should help. It is likely rubbing on one of the fender liner mounting points so you could just roll those some and be ok.

So I heard the front rub on a hard turn and on a bump again today. Convinced me to get the front rolled and im going to be doing it soon. Really hope this helps, for some reason im not convinced it will make a huge difference but hopefully it will.
