The new wheels are going on today!(225/40R18) I thought, since I had the chance, I would roll the lips before I get the wheels on and get it all done in one shot. I'm just looking for some pointers, i.e. trouble spots...roll the whole thing...just a section, you get the point. I'd like to avoid having to drive around first, pin down the troble spots, then take care of 'em...

I rolled in pretty much the whole lip but not as much towards the front of the lip...you should be alright with that, i haven't rubbed yet..

Well the wheels are on. I rolled what I could with a mini sledge and a towel and didn't rub at all on the first test drive.  So all looks good. It was just too fergin hot today to get to the wash and wax...so I'll get some pics up tomorrow after a nice coat of Maguiar's Gold Class.

I have my CSVT lowered and the rear corners are what you should concentrate on.
The rear corners I'm referring to is right were the rear fender meets the rear bumper, roll it, hammer it, whatever. There are welds in the lip so don't let someone talk you into cutting it.
After that you need only roll forward past the center of the wheel well for the rear.
I have no issues with the front wheel wells.
