You can also do it the ol skool ghetto way. l

You will need a jack, preferbally a floor jack, and a baseball bat, preferbally metal.

Use the floor jack to lift the car up enough so you can fit the bat inbewteen your tire and the bat. have the at a steep angle like 60-70 degrees, Then either work your way around with the bat around the tire or lower the car slightly and lift it back up and move over slightly.

This is what me and my friends have done to get rolled fenders. Works, and costs no money, Plus gives you something to do when hanging out.

Good luck
