I just drove my car for the first time with 17x9 cobra rims and I need to borrow a fender rolling tool like this one www.rollyourfender.com from someone local if possible. Thanks.

Be prepared to crack the paint a bit.
I used that eastwood tool to roll my fenders. I used a heatgun and a helper who had a infrared heat gauge and we made sure the paint was 120-135*F the whole time, and it still cracked on all 4 corners.
That is one of those tasks that many shops won't do unless you are planning on painting the car afterwards.
Let us know how it goes

Did your paint crack on the inside of the lip or are the cracks visible on the outside of the lip? I will have it painted next winter. Another question for you Luke, what did you set your ride height at? I just installed MM coil overs all around and set the ride height at 26" to fender wells all around. It looks good and only rubs at the left rear but yours looks a little lower and more aggressive.

No, it cracks at the point where the bend is most significant. Mine is not visible. It cracks because you are stretching the paint significantly when you roll the fenders.
I have 255/40/17's in the front and 275/40/17's in the rear.
Front: 24.45"
Rear: 25.4"
