Roll or Cut fenders?? + tires..., **added Healthy stretched tire pics Options

I didnt wanna pay $60 per fender and some guy to molest and touch my car. so i sat down with the die grinder, welding mask, and a beach towel and started cutting my fenders.
My weapon

The leftovers

Passenger side



Driver's side




10mins each fender.

Procedure:
-Lift rear end
-Take off wheels
-Scrape inside fender lip to get rid of the dirt and what evers behind there
-Lightly graze the fender lip with the die grinder to make a guide line
-Cut deeper in the line (I made 6 passes to make sure i had a good clean cut)
-When satisfied with the clearance put wheels back on and call it a day.

Used the welder helmet so i dont burn myself cuz those sparks get really really hot.

Then I used a wood block and a hammer to lightly roll the fresh cut area so it looks cleaner and to protect from anyone getting cut. Gonna sand and touch up paint the area later whenever i feel like working on the car again So it doesnt start to rust and rot away
