I used a youth wood baseball bat, I have 19 tech arts so it is a tight fit between the tire and lip, I had to use a jack to get a little more room to work with, using the bat and tire for leverage, I smoothly rolled and added presure until the lip was rolled to my satisfaction.
This is my first time doing it, I don't even know if I did the proper procedures, it came out fine, maybe someone with more experience could post.

this is true, but if the fender gets hit it's gonna get hit, cause damage either way


btw, i've successfully used the bat many times, no need for a special tool
