That will work but be carfull not to scrach your paint. You could take it to a body shop and ask them to do it.

what's your current suspension set up? Stock?

Also what are your offsets and wheel sizes.

You should also list your tire sizes. You would be surprised what people run. Sometimes an inch too tall!

Using a heat gun or hair dryer will help.
I used a large screwdriver with a wheel from an old rollerskate and a hairdryer and it worked like a charm.
Or you could use Peanutbutter & Jelly and a Baseball Bat. (hmmm where did the dancing banana gif go?)

peanut butter & jelly and a baseball bat was a rediculously retarded song that somehow got played on the radio a lot a few years ago.

Just like 7 said,

Please indicate what wheel size, width, diameter, and offset you are running.

Tire size

Suspension

Without these answers it's pointless to make a recommendation on how to fix it. If these figures are to out of whack hten rolling won't do anything. So I suggest informing us of these variables and then we'll be able to better solve the issue for you, if at all.
