I'm having the same problem, just missed out on rolling my fenders too friend rented a fender rolling machine, but I missed out. Just got my omnis and camber kit put in, but my control arm is definately hitting the fender.

what you need to do is take a rubber hammer ( 4 pounds ) and begin feeling were you need to pound in the fender wall. Take a thin peice of aluminum and a regular mallet hammer ( metal ) and carefully begine to pound in the inner fender area ( gingerly as well ) till it clears. It takes some time but just be gental, steady and everything will work out for you. I had to do this on mine because when i bought the car, this dude had negative camber up the ass on the front which was fine for the track but poor tires.

our cars do not have a unibody frame. Your not going to jepordize the structural integrity in any way.
