I have a couple other cars that will need rolling in the future as well, so buying the actual roller would be fine if that's the best way....

I am considering these, but they're 9.75" +25 for the rear which may be pushing it...

Thanks again.
A damn fender roller isnt a gurantee that you wont chip your paint. There is no sure fire gurantee of anything chipping the paint. All you can do is make steps to help prevent it from happening. Doesnt matter what you use, you will fuck up the paint on the inner lip of the fender. Who gives a fuck about that paint since itll be under the car and you wont see it. All you have to do is rattle can it to seal it so it wont rust. What you're watching out for is once the lip is flattened, the edge between the inner and outer fender. Since you're flattening it, the paint have a tendency to crack/chip there. You heat it up so the paint will be malleable and bend with the fender vs chipping.

If you dont roll the fenders and you're low enough, one of 2 things could happen. 1st scenario: Tires touch the fenders, fender cut thru the tire, you blow your tire. 2nd scenario: Tire touch front fender, flimsy front fender catches tire and tire rips the damn fender out, fucking up your paint and fender.
