looks nice and level now. Rolling the fenders usually takes care of it 90% of the time, what size tire are you running on your wheels?

I don't have access to a fender roller atm. I want to use a hammer or something. I have one of the front wheels off and I'm looking on the inside, what is there to bend? Everything is like a plastic. Looks like whatever you bend just goes back to it's normal shape. Any tips to roll fender without access to a fender roller?

I have succeed in fender with a baseball bat before. What you actually rolling is the lip of the fender, it 90 degree bends in towards the wheel. What you want to do is roll the lip up so that it 180 degrees up.

Remove the inner fender liner (all the plastic). With the wheel ON the car jack up the car. Take a baseball bat and rest on top of the tire while slowly lowering the car back down on top of the bat then roll the car back and forth (usually with the help of a friend pushing) until you feel that lip is completely rolled up.

Be patient, it takes a while. Also be careful you can accidentally destroy your fenders doing it this way.

I had 205/40/R17's with 17x7" wheels with a 40mm offset and a 2.5" drop all around, no rubbing.
