Rolling rear fenders effective on F30?

Hey all - haven't looked, too hot, too rainy, too whatever. But, I did feel under the fender and it seems like its got a nice tight factory roll on the sheet metal. I have HRE FF01 and put H&R Super Sport springs on - its good 99% of the time. Hit a big transition/dip on the highway and got a little rub. Running 265/35/19 Michelin PS4s. Not sure if it's worth it or not but I have an Eastwood fender roller - have people had much luck with making a little more room w/o wrinkles or cracks?

Why not just add a little bit more camber? There's a decent amount of adjustment via the stock bolt. An extra -.3 to -.5 will give you the extra clearance. There isn't a "lip" back there to roll, like you said. Why even risk it?

Fender rolling is/are like wheel spacers...

An afterthought to fix poor wheel and or suspension choices. Never planned for by people who do their homework.

Is there?! I haven't done any research yet. I know, I have done some pretty aggressive fender pulls in my past and this does not seem like it's going to offer much.

Any more info on the camber adjustment? I feel like -.3deg would pull it in just enough under compression to be perfect.

No way man.

Low for life.

Disagree. It's like icing on a cake.
