j/k - 9" is plenty wide for me. Not into the stretch and poke look so I'll keep the 245/40-19s.

When rolling from factory to flat with a fender roller, the body of the car can sustain damage far greater than would a small double sided ball peen hammer from unexperienced hands.
I find that surprising, but you sound like a practiced expert at it.

I do understand where your coming from. I said the same thing until I did a couple cars with a million year old welders hammer. Worked like a charm. Once word got around I had the misfortune of being called upon by two shops for a majority of their fender work over the course of a couple years.
