<VV> Rolling wheel well edge

[The Robbins]

I saw where some NASCAR teams have a tool for that but most use a metal ball
bat, others here will give more details, I put taller tires and wheels on my
65 Vert but had no problems.

Subject: <VV> Rolling wheel well edge

I just got my new tires mounted..Yea! They are P185/70 R13 on 13X5.5 Cragar
SS 4-lug rims.

 

Now, I just went into a driveway at an extreme angle a few minutes ago and
the left tire rubbed at the top of the wheel well opening and peeled the lop
of the 64 wheel well trim down.  I have pounded the trim back into position.
I see that if I roll the top edge of the wheel well up and in a little, the
tire will not rub anymore. I am trying to figure out the best way to do it.
I'm a little scared that I might crack the paint above the 64 wheel well
trim. Obviously I don't want that. 

 

I'm sure there some guys out there that can give me advice on how I should
roll the edge up out of the way.

 

Looking forward to some suggestions,

 

Dave Thompson
