Rolling Fenders -help needed

Need help rolling my fenders. Trying the phone book method of heating,shoving phone books under and and lowering the car. Front fender started popping up where it meets the side skirt but nothing bad. Nothing in the fender pinched or moved. Rear fender I got to move just a little but is thicker. My other concern for the fronts is what about the clip holder,will it need rolled too and how will the splash guard fit?

Should I take it to a shop for $250 or buy real fender roller tool for around $100 and resell it later or do I try the phonebook method again but slower? Also do I need a fender finisher?




Got it to move very little.



Heres my new wheel.

 

Sounds like my dad ^^^ LOL I say the following with a smile and no disrespect.
A. I inherited this car after my grandfather passed. So it was basically free besides the emotional cost.
B. It's my money to spend how I feel.
C. What better car to modify than a Prius that has MPG to spare.
D. The car is lowered and I looked for rims with wider spokes vs skinny ones to help aerodynamics that in theory MAY improve or in my case maintain MPG.
E. Hoping wider tires will make the car feel more grounded and not get pushed around so much by the wind on highways.
F. Why be like everyone else?


Made some progress with a heat gun one turn from the highest setting and focused longer on certain areas.. Kinda get fed up so took a rubber mallet to the inside wheel well and wouldn't ya know it started rolling like I asked it to! Looks kinda bad in the pic but in person with the wheels on you don't see this inside well. Might still but a roller to smooth it out or retry the phone books. Once done I'll go over with touch up paint.

 

185/55/15 VS 215/45/17 about an inch wide. Rolling wasn't necessary in the rear but glad I did in the front because I want to go lower. I have heard some scuffing from the front but not when I turn the wheel,more when hitting pot holes.





UPGRADE



Surprisingly the Toyota center cap fits.

 

When I get around to lowering the front more I'll weigh the tires and rims. I'll also take closer pics of the fitment. Wanted to go bigger with a 225/ but these 215/ handle great and look beefy for a Prius. Car feels slower or like it lags now. Wonder if resetting anything would help. Oh and my TMPS sensors were used off ebay, light came on once two days into having the rims after driving like 30 minutes then went away in the morning. Hasn't come back since so yes you can get used ones off another prius and not need to program them.

 

Want to go lower in front so had to do some pulling with the phone book method.



As you can see looks like the tire has been rubbing.



Passenger side not pulled yet but yes rolled.


Driver side rolled

 

OEM wheels weight is 30.5 Lbs ---- tires at about 6/32
Subaru 17s are 47 Lbs --- tires at 8/32


Curbed a rim in Chicago and got a $3 pin stripe kit. Did one wheel and looks like junk. It's stickers you put on in sections. Ready to remove it until I saw it with the flash on and loved the effect. Had them on for a week. Used a heat gun but still won't lay flat in certain areas,looks bubbled up and bumpy over the curb rash.



Makes the wheel look a bit smaller too.
