I have heard that you can "roll the fenders" on the rear to allow wider tires. Anyone have a procedure or can you tell me the best way to do this? I have heard is it no more difficult than a baseball bat and rolling the car slowly back and forth, but I can't believe that is the right way...

I gently rolled the front fenders lips on my 911. It only gets you an extra 3/8" or so of clearance and it shapes the inside lip in such a way that it doesn't cut the tire if there is contact. Still, I'm not sure just rolling the fender lips on a 914 would get you a comfortable fit with 225s.
