You go out and buy a kids wood baseball bat. You would need to cut of the nub on the handle. You start with the small end of the bat, and you runit from back to frontrolling the car back and forth. You keep doing this until they are streched out enough for the wheels you want. It works very well but go slow. I have seen people do this and fit 10s under there. The fronts should be fine for the most part. You may need to roll them out a little, but I don't think much at all for 7s.

I'm not saying it is not possible, but you are giving the advise that stretching the rear fenders by 3 inches with a baseball bat is simple. It is not. It is possible to reform your current fenders without adding flares, and for that I would recommend buying John Kelly metalworking DVD. Buy the DVD and watch it before jumping in and ruining your fenders so that you know what you are in for.
