Arch rolling with vinyl wrap

Dunno if this is the right forum for this, but I need my rear arches rolled. My car has a full vinyl wrap so I'm just wondering if anyone has ever done, or knows of someone who has rolled their arches with a wrap and whether it went well? I'm sure it should be OK, just curious if anyone has any past experience and can give some tips so it all goes smoothly.

if you mean by rolling your fenders then the vinyl may not hold up. you have to heat the fender in order to not crack the paint when the fender lip is rolled.

^x2 And we're talking about a heat gun not a hair dryer.

Yeah the inside of the fenders, tyres keep on hitting against them.
Well this is a bummer! Might just get some lower profile tyres then lol Currently running 215/45 I'll be able to get away with 215/40... Or even 205/45 and stretch them so they don't hit the fenders
Oh well, food for thought I guess.

I'm only on eibachs too much negative camber will look crap, it already has a bit naturally from lowering which is enough for now. Wish I got them rolled before the wrap lol Still living still learning...

Heat gun. You'd need it anyway to make the paint flexible. If paint can flex, vinyl can, too.

Worse comes to worse just remove the vinyl from the rear panels and re-apply after you roll? It's pretty cheap stuff anyway.
