Rolling vs Cutting

I'm going to a more aggressive wheel and suspension setup and was wondering if I should cut or roll my fenders? I have heard that rolling can cause the paint to chip or crack. Is there any problem cutting the fenders?

Use a heat gun when you roll your fenders and you shouldnt have any problems as long as youre not going nuts. Just take your time and go slow always heating while your doing it. I would do rolling over cutting because you will have the extra metal from the fold to help support the fender if rubbing happens. If you cut the metal the fender will be weaker and you may end up cutting into the tire or denting the metal if rubbing occurs. If you decide to cut just be sure to put some paint on the fresh cut so you dont end up with rusty fenders like a honda.
