Default Rolling Front Fenders

Afternoon guys,

I will be mouting a set of wheels tomorrow. Fronts are 17x8 +43 and the rears are 17x9 +43. I will be rolling the rears, but am concerned about rolling the fronts. It seems as if the fenders use a pretty thin gauge steel, so I'm a little concerned that rolling them using a fender roller would result in warping them. Anyone here roll the fronts without damaging?

Just be careful not to roll too much. It's easy to misjudge where and how much you're rolling and create a new body line in the fenders. (edit: this is with the fender roller)

My new method is just to use a hammer (as opposed to a fender roller). I got good results just taping up the edge, heating up the metal, and banging at it.

I used an eastwood fender finisher
pop out the liner tabs, heat up the metal tabs and SLOWLY push them up in small increments. Keep em heat and dont go too fast and theyll turn out perfect
