I'm going to attempt to stuff 285/30/18 Hoosiers (Track Tires) on my 95 C2 that is at RS ride height. If I need some clearance, any suggestions on rolling my fenders?? How to's??

I had the same problem. I used a local body shop with experience rolling fenders, excellent job, no paint chips, would not recommend DIY if you are nuts about yourP-Car.

Those should not be that hard to stuff in the wheel wells. My only advice is a baseball bat and plenty of patience.

I'm running 285/30/18 Kumho V710s and was scared I would have to roll my fenders...however, they ended up tucking nicely without the need to roll the fenders. So maybe you won't have to roll them after all.

Rolling the fenders is really pretty easy once you get the nerve up. Use a heat gun to warm the paint. A large dowel (like a clothes rod) or a baseball bat works fine. Just start at one end, and roll the bat while levering it against the tire. Don't just crank down without rolling. Just start gradually and increase the pressure in the middle. The risk of cutting the sidewall at the track and having bad things happen is much worse than rolling the fenders or even cracking a little paint.
