For people with rolled fenders, help please
i'm in the process of rolling my rear fenders. does anyone know how muchi have to roll. here is an example of where i stopped rolling. the two red marks shows that. Is this enough for me not to rub or do i have to go down the rear fender more? Can someone use the same pic and mark new marks where it shows how much i need?
For some reason, i didn't want to roll it all the way down and to the rear by the rear bumper.

easy to figure out where you rub.
1. disconnect spring from perch.
2. re-attatch lower arm
3. place jack below spring bucket
4. jack up rear side till suspension is all the way compressed
5. mark spots where tire hit fender
6. re-attach spring
in my experience, with aggressive offsets, the tire tends to hit the rear part of the fender where it meets the bumper.

can I ask why is rolling fenders seems to always be everyone's first option as opposed to a clean cut then silicone seal ?
I cut my fenders with a dremel while back, and weighed the pros and cons of rolling and cutting just couldn't justify rolling...
I realized if I rolled I can easily crack the paint even with a heatgun, but with cutting you get a clean cut that won't flex or bend the paint out of shape to the outside of the fender where it's visible to people... plus easy silicone application after a cut and slightly better clearance is the cherry on the cake
by the way, before I did this I've never even seen a cut or rolled fender in my life, some ***** I got, lol... mixed with stupidity probably, but luckily came out good
