from a quick google search, its a modification to the fender to fit a larger tire: "roll the fender lip so any future tire contact is against a smooth rolled surface rather than a sharp edge."

Depending how much you push em up, you'll need to redo the tabs that hold the fender liner on. On some cars I've seen them just insert the liner above the fender and bend it up to hold the liner in place. Note, with wide tires, track, offset, etc. I find it just as useful to set the ride height higher as no amount of rolling is gonna help big 245/265 tires in front.

There is a special tool for rolling fenders. Go to Snap-on's website and look in the body work sections you should be able to find it there (I'm only giving Snap-on as an example because I KNOW they have it since I get most of my tools from them, but I'm sure cheaper companies make the tool as well)

Just as it was stated before, rolling the inner lip on the fenders allows the wheel to be tucked in without rubbing.
Many slammed Hondas do this.
Ive heard many people using the Base Ball bat method.

For anyone who is interested the Mazda 6 guys have a nice writeup with photos about rolling your own fenders here:http://www.mazda6tech.com/index.php?...id=17&Itemid=0
Who knows? Maybe this could even be thrown in one of the stickys?
