you might need to flare the inside of the well a little.

A buddy of mine did that when he changed rims and his new tires were rubbing.

He flared them underneath with a screw driver and said that there is a kit or something that you can get that will clean up the flare

You may not need to roll them... in the fender...lok for a small tab of metal... this may be your only problem...I had the same thing happen to me when I was running 17's but it wasn't the fender...it was a small bit of metal within hte wheel well...

he would have to increase negative camber to remove this problem... but that just introduces a new one...
