With my new 18's on, my wheel spacers, and my coil-overs, when i hit a bump my tires rub the lip on my rear fenders. I want to role that little lip, but don't want to bend the fender. How can i do this? i don't want to get rid of the spacers, or raise the car.

I noticed that in your profile you didn't list any upgrades to your struts. I would suggest getting a some stiffers shocks like koni's. Also the spring rate on the drop zone coilovers is pretty low. You'll bounce a lot, the stiffer suspension will help a lot. To roll your fenders you need to make some cuts every inch on the inside of the fender. Then take a torch and heat it up, do heat it up till its red, just enough so it'll bend easier with out the paint peeling. While the fender is hot, bang it out with a rubber mallet. After you're done, i'd tape up the car and spray the inside of the fender with paint to prevent rust from all the cuts you made.
