you probably cant roll them smoothly. the metal is so thick and the rolled edge is so strong, it will look like a crinkle cut fry if you tried.
I had a 47 GMC on an s10 chassis with 215/75/15 on 8" wheels that was so low the front bumper would scrape on the crown of the road and it didnt need rolled.

Those are I think the only pictures I have of that setup, I raised it up and put on different wheels because it was just too low, but man it looked good like that.
edit: I found two videos of the truck on the highway, in case someone thinks it didnt drive like that. click to play!

it did rub in one spot, where a fence post had bent the fender, and getting that area straight required two sledgehammers, on on the back side as a dolly and one on the front side swung with abandon. those fender edges are STRONG.

thats the rear fender brace, he is I think talking about the large metal hoop that comes off the core support inside the fender. I keep both on all my builds.
