I just got a set of spacers that are going to push my OEM GTS rims to the edge of the fender.
The spacers are 1.5"
I know that I will need to either roll the fenders or cut them.
Which of the two is the best option?

Roll them, cutting that bend along the inner lip of the fender will make it lose a lot of its rigidity. Unless you don't care what it looks like or you're going to be putting on fender flares: roll the lip.
P.S. : Be careful tooling around with spacers that large, they're going to increase your scrub radius and may increase wear on the ball joints....also if they're not hubcentric GET SOME HUBCENTRIC RINGS.

Roll them do not cut them rolling them is a better option!

What drop do you have? and how good are your struts
You wont have to worry about rubbing unless your dropped more than 1.5" or taking a ridiculous ramp/dip.

I'm on trd springs with OEM struts.
i know bernie had a thread about rolling the fenders, but exactly what all is there too it.
I just don't wanna cut the tire so I'm taking the steps necessary to avoid it.

Just push them out, the only reason i sliced my tires is because im dropped 4.5" you wont run into any problems since your lowered only an inch around.
