Rolling fenders is just as labor intensive as beating in your wheel wells (I had to do both to my car to fit my wheels...I'm going to have to hammer more out when I get the new ones on). Since you aren't running a 9wide on your car though you should run a spacer and roll the fender...it'll look better too.
see my tires are already sitting maybe a 1/2 inch from my fender now. i'm also at -3 degs. camber on the front. when turning hard and hit a bump i rub them. so as it is i need to roll AND beat for these things to fit....whipping out the hammer tonight


EDIT: stage 1 beat in done. i've painted them to see if they rub still rub. it wasn't too bad. hopefully i won't have to go insane on the beating process.
