fender rolling idea.. good or bad?

so i got my 18x9.5 +27 nto3s on and they stick out like crazy, i rolled the rear fenders with a metal jack handle by sticking it under the wheel and rolling the car back and forth, the ol "baseball bat" trick.

i eliminated the sharp metal edges, but they still stick out and rub. my idea is to get some channel lock pliars, a small peice of wood, and a towel to try and pinch them completly together. i would place the wood on the outside to not scratch/dent and it will not move the outside. and ofcourse wrap everything in a towel to prevent scratches. does this sound ok? anyone do anything like this?

if other cars may not be able to do it, however the fender of evos are completly flat, figuring the block of wook prevent the outside of the fender from denting or moving. ending up in a completly flat fender.

good idea or terrible idea? im almost scared to try because no one has ever mentioned anything like this, thats why im posting up before murdering my fenders

Maybe you just need some more camber. Here is Positron's : https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...miss-jojo.html I believe he runs 265 Z1's which is about the widest 265 you can get and it looks pretty damn good imo.

Bad idea. Get your gaurds done properly when running that Rim and tyre set up or you will have problems for sure. That back bolt in side the gaurd needs to be relocated as well otherwise it will shread your tyres.
