Use a wood baseball bat. Just put the bat inside the wheel well and drive the car slowly back and forth. It will roll the fender lip up for better clearance.

Fast, Cheap or Reliable. Pick two and live with it.

You've never rolled a fender this way?

I've never rolled fenders period... but your way sounds risky.

It works pretty well. The paint won't usually chip anywhere visible, but it will obviously chip on the inside of the fender. It will chip if the fender has been bondo'd at all. It works really well though. I did it on my car and it really cleared room for the 285s.
