How to roll the rear fender?

how do I do this, I got Tein S-tecs already installed and the car is sitting on 18x7.5 +45 off set wrapped in kumo 245/40/18 and I am about to finish off the suspension with adj coilovers. so how would i roll the rear fender? I can tell it already needs to be done becuase when i have a full car of people or even 2-3 people the car dropps about 1-2 inches putting the wheels in the wheel whell jsut enough to bother me that the fender is going to cut the tires.

All you need is a wooden baseball bat and a hammer!

Don't bother... with what you've got (7.5" wheels +45mm offset) you're not going to rub ... ever. What you think will happen ... won't. Heck my 275s on 18x9.5s +45mm offset don't rub FHS! Still if you want either buy the tool ~$300 or go to a shop where they do it correctly and not break/crack your paint in the process. Don't use a bat and a hammer ever unless you don't care about your car.

7.5 +45 is definitely NOT going to rub.

most tyre/wheel shops can do it......
whoever suggested a baseball bat and a hammer should knock himself out.

LOL on the homerun

typically you'd only need to flatten the inward lip extension except in the most extreme situations and as others said, you're not even close with that combo
