call Supreme Power Parts...they have a guy there who has done it.
basically you're just rolling the inner lip, which doesn't change the exterior appearance of the fenders at all. the guy I talked to at SPP (can't recall his name off the top of my head) said it was very easy to do with a small rubber mallet....no fender roller required.

I rolled the front, the lip is already rolled a bit so rolling them some more is no
big deal, remember though use heat to avoid cracking and a good fender roller. And did I say to use heat? (yes it is that important)
If done right it does not change the look of the fender only rolls the lip out of the way to provide some additional inside clearance.
On the rear there is no lip to roll but the liner can be trimmed and re-glued to provide additional clearance there too.

good idea to put a slit on the inside of the fender too...
A lot of time rolling causes paint cracking, so putting a small line cut on the inside gives the paint a place to crack that you can't see.
