Rolling the fenders.

Okay, I threw on these +35 7" rims, and I was
laughing about what I thought was going to be a
trivial issue, rolling the fenders. So, I grabbed a
baseball bat, and kind of tested a little bit.
Well, the fenders aren't going to move all that easily.
Luckily for me, I run kind of high in the rear, so it's
unlikely I'll ever be in a rubbing situation on the street.
The downside is, I have to flare them before I can go
to a track event. I don't dare risk rubbing at speed.
So, the real question is going to be, what's the proper
method of 'rolling' the fenders? Is it with a baseball bat?
Is there some sort of tool that works to do them
on car, preferably? Should I just cut away the section
of metal I suspect will rub? It's mostly on the
horizontal portion, where the fender folds back inwards,
that I'm worried about. It'll cut tire like a knife.
I'm talking to body shop guys too, but I was hoping there
was somebody on the list who had some experience with
this. It'll be a lot more critical if I end up lowering the car
with shorter struts, which isn't likely to happen really soon,
but a goal, nonetheless.
