Umm...I had the fender roller and it worked great....but how much room are you expecting to get with the fender roller?

if you do the calculations

for the rears for a 10" wheel and +25;

Maximum front spacing, rear wheel - 4.0"
Maximum back spacing, rear wheel - 7.5"

11" (wheel width + 1") / 2 = 5.5"
25mm = 1"
Back spacing = 5.5" + 1" = 6.5"
Front spacing = 11" - 6.5" = 4.5"

so according to this...you would have to roll your fenders about a half an inch OUT. If you look under the fender and see what the fender roller will accomplish (that is push the edge of the lip more vertically) you only gain less than 1/4" Fender rolling just makes it less likely that you will "catch" the lip when the suspension compresses up.

I think for you to get that to work your going to have to get a body shop to massage the sheet metal like JT-imports., or get flares. Good luck! If you need some pointers on the fender roller let me know. I also purchased the Eastwood roller not to long ago.
