I would start by removing the trim then rolling the fender lip first.   Then put the trim back on and roll it after.  if you try both at once I see bad things happening.

I have never had to roll a fender on one of these, with the right backspacing and wheel size you can fit a 14" wide tire back there without rubbing...

I don't think you will be able to roll the trim easily and make it look good...

I always used a baseball bat  to roll the lip and if that wasn't enough I'd trim the inner lip with a cutoff wheel.   So there wasn't anything pointing back towards the tire

Usually on most vehicles it's just the very top and the bottom corners that rub
