we have a fende roller- but prefer to trim-
we have done well over 100 cars like this--- and then we refinish with high quality underbody coating which you dont see and is nicer than using paint-
almost EVERY pulled/rolled setup will have a slightly bulge where the rear bumper meets the rear fender-

Just something to think about, but a rolled lip won't cut a tire if it makes contact.
I've rolled and pulled like crazy to clear a 9.5+22 with 275/35/18 tires and I still get mild rubbing. It just burnishes the tire though, no damage done. If I had cut the lip, it probably would have destroyed the tires.

Yeah back when I had my VW GTI and had that "hellaflush" thing lol I did lots of fender rolling as well as heat gun action.
To avoid the buldge I would roll very slowly then flip the roller and have it roll the fender back in.
Time consuming but it works, I haven't touched my fenders on the evo yet but ill see how strong these are.
ALSO
Some people were asking on what to do to avoid rust.. A quick easy way to handle that is to put some top coat nail polish. I put 3 coats, and if it rubs off just apply it again..

This is the only way to do it on an EVO IMO

My bad I wasn't getting thread notifications on this one - I'm used a rotary sander from Sears. I forget what grit sand paper but they come in a 3-grit pack I remember - http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...1&blockType=G1
True, you'll find this will happen especially on the dyno 
Then you'll know you need to shave a bit more :
