Rolling fenders

OK, this is a total n00b question, but please don't laugh :-)

Could someone explain what rolling fenders is. I've read many threads recommending it, and I understand its results, and I think I even kno kindof how you do it (baseball bat pressing up at an angle on the fenders and run it back and forth) but I somehow can't quite grasp what your doing to the car. could someone explain it, or maybe better yet post a before and after pic (assuming you can see the difference)? Thank you muchly!

I imagine it as simply bending the lip thing that holds the rubber in so that it bends up instead of horizontally. However, I don't get how this would provide much clearence at all, or how you'd still be able to use your original wheel lining plastic thing? What am I missing? Someone please straighten me out...

Thanks muchly again

the first one doesn't work...

The second one is fairly informative though, seems to be prett much what I thought, though it elaborated on it.

Can you still use the wheel liner thing though? It seems like your pretty much removing the lip that holds it on?

Thanks for the help and the links!
