Need help rolling the fenders

Alright guys, I need some major help. I just got new tires and I want to put them on but I need to roll the fenders first on my RX-7. Do you think I can roll them enough for these???

I can fit them for you , they are the same as mine only mine are 18 inch . The RX now pulls good in the mud untill the boost tops 23 lbs then the tires slip . I had to put screws through the bead into the rim on the rear because on the street at 25 lbs boost the tires slipped on the rim and the air pressure was lost .After that the tires did not slip and the front wheels will lift about a foot high through second gear .Life is good .

Yes I wheelled on to the hood and over the top . the rear tires got a bite on the roof and the car cleared the bed .The top of the tail gate was dented and the exhaust scrapped the hood . I tried to pay the guy for the repairs but he said no way but he did want a ride in the seven .So I carried him down the innerstate ,I 24 ,the new part .Running about 168.573 MPH , I cut into the grass area and ,put the ped to the med .and went over the hill in the center,15 feet high .At the apex on the hill we went airborn for about 73.93 feet .When the car hit the ground the 99 spec lip got the paint chipped .That pissed me off and then the high way patrol came .I told the MAN to write it up and who will believe him ,hahaha .He thought about it for a minute and said well ,so true .Then he wonted a ride .The truck owner drove the state car and followed us .I carried the patrolman for a law breaking ride to say the least .What a day that was. The right side front lip has been painted and is on the kitchen cabinet .May be Paul will take a pic of it and post it .It has been repainted .

Sounds like something from a Dr. Seuss book I read as a kid, but without the rhyme... How The Grinch Stole The RX7.

HDP - HELLO -I am not a rhymer but try this .With the big tires the 7 gets big air . And I lost all of my hair .When the police came ,I did not take the blame . He wanted to take me to jail just the same .O that car put me to shame .I gave the Man a ride like I should . Now life is good . How lame is that . I need to get back to the GM alternator install on the 7 . I am better building than rhymming ,can you tell . Come see us .
