So! I got my new wheels in, 18x8+40, 235/40/18.
I tried to roll my fenders before I got them put on, but I had no leverage between my tire and fender, and they wouldn't budge.
So I decided, sure! I'll get the wheels put on, and try again.
I got the wheels on, and on my 5 mile ride back I scraped 2-3 times.
So just no I tried to roll them again, and once again, it would not happen.
Somebody help me, I'm really frustrated about this because I can't even drive my car without risking destroying my new tires.

By the way, I'm using the DIY method shown here: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f75/how-roll-fenders-15-a-395884/

I rolled mine using a rubber mallet, taping off the exterior of the quarter panels before starting. The paint chipped off of the lips, but I sealed up the underside with durable undercoating. With the lips rolled to about 45 degrees, I fit 225/45's on 17x8's +35. Under normal conditions, I do not rub. You have to roll about half way down the dog leg, because this area is actually a bigger issue than directly over the top of the tire with an aggressive fittment. The one area that you can do nothing about is where the rear bumper cover fastens to the quarter panel. If you sit too low and you run too much offset, you will rub there on bigger bumps.

Well, what I'm looking into now, is calling a shop about 120+ miles away on Monday, and asking them what they would charge, they actually advertising rolling/pulling on their website, so maybe that would be a good idea.
After I call them on Monday, if they want too much, I'll rent a fender roller and try again, but I'm terribly nervous about even doing that at this point.
I'm glad you think that I'll be good! That's pretty reassuring as I've been kinda freaking out. haha
Thanks for the advice!

The appropriate tool will make a world of difference
