Go back to 17s or 18s. Better looks, better performance, better durability, less money.

^^ I don't believe that is what he asked. Use a heat gun to warm the paint to prevent chipping or cracking. Use a rubber mallet and go slow.

Heat gun and a baseball bat and roll em that way. Or you can rent a fender rolling tool online. They're usually on eBay.

You will be good with this method.

You can do it, even with a hair-dryer. I made tiny cuts about every 2 inches with an angle grinder on the inside of the lip (or use a dremel). I raised the body up with a jack and gently let it come down on top of a 4" rubber mallet. Jack the car back up, move the mallet an inch, do it again until you have the fenders looking nice and flared.

Check craigslist under "automotive services" in your area, I know there's places here in Phoenix that'll do them for you for like $50 a wheel, or rent the tool off ebay.

Damn, when I looked, it was only like $35 to rent the tool on eBay!!! $50 a wheel, that guy could be making money! The tool is only $200-$250 new. Think of the return on that, lol!!!

Actually, my answer falls under "general information", which he did ask for :)

Notice that Dan is "rollin' " on 17's! Unless he got his rolled because he's lowered.

Yeah you know how the valley is, always out to rip someone off. I'm sure you encounter that down by your place.

OMG yes. They will rape you and not even give you a reach around down here. Ridiculous I tell you!

And yes chet, because I'm lowered and my rims are offset, it is important that I have at least some rolling done. Otherwise my fender eats my sidewall!!!

Do a search on You tube on fender rolling, There is a guy on there that uses a tool from EASTWOOD to roll his fenders on a 300C.
At the end of the video he has information about renting this tool from him. That's the route I went and it worked slick as shit!
The tool bolts on your hub and you crank it tight against the fender and heat the paint with the heat gun he supplied and you start rolling the tool back and forth tightening it as you go, and in 5 minutes you have completely rolled fenders.
His name is Jay Dinnison.
