what's the offsets for your 18x8??? 8's should be ok unless you went with an agressive offset.

that sucks man.... time to roll your fenders.

I had a fender rolling day when I rented JesusCookies' tool and it worked very well. You should put up a post as there are a few local guys that have them here in NorCal.

Hope you don't have to repaint and can hopefully just roll it back in.

IMO, bite the bullet and roll your fenders. Even if you can't find a tool to borrow, it should only be $50-60 from a shop.
