Is this YouTube video what you are talking about? (It made me laugh)

Heres another one.

(Edit: PS> There are better vids on youtube, these just made me laugh)

What I did for my rear was this:

Heated a section fender lip with a heat gun, then I wedged an aluminum pipe between the tire and the fender. I gently started rolling the lip. Heat the next section, gently roll. Repeat until then whole fender lip is slightly rolled. Then just repeat the process, putting more pressure down the pipe to roll the fenders more. You'll destroy the weather stripping on the fender lip in the process, but eh, don't see the point in those anyway. It's really important to heat the fender lip tho as to not crack the paint. It'll take a while if you don't want any damage (took me around three hours I think, to do both sides). You don't want to really roll an area of the fender right away. You'd want to gradually roll the entire fender, as I mentioned.

I did mine at the track with a baseball bat, but it did chip the paint. There is a special tool with urethane wheels that the pros use.

Depending on how much clearance you need, an alternate technique I've read about is shaving the lip. If you only need a few millimeters of clearance, you can cut away the inner lip up to the spot welds. No damage tothe paint and you don't risk breaking or weakening the spot welds.
