I ended up rollong the fronts with a soft rounded piece of wood, then finished them off with the rolling tool. I havn't driven it yet so I don't know if it is going to be enough.

voidhawk....so did you pull you front or rears? You posted the pic, but it's closer to the rear fenders and you said you did the front. So you don't have any damage in your fenders at all after that?

you could always buy wider front fenders...they arent too expensive

If your running coilovers, might I suggest you raise the ride height a smidge. Not that it doesn't look good now but it might help to fix the problem.
Also, maybe run -2 on the camber.
