You can roll your fenders. I would ask around you town and see what body shop has the proper tools for the job .. or you can grind down your wheel wells with a grinder or you a saw saw and cut a small pice out.. Or just buy wheels with the right offset and you would never have this problem....

Roll the fenders old school with a baseball bat. Remove the wheel then start slowly rolling the bat along the lip.

You can do that if your not worried about causing a ripple like look in your paint or chipping of the paint.. Old school for old guys... when you have a nice car why would you risk doing it yourself when you can get it done right..

When using the "bat" method, use a hairdryer or heat gun to warm up the paint to prevent cracking...
