Depends on your skill set...the goal is to have the inner wheel house go straight all the way up. You could cut it out, hammer massage the roll in it then fit it back up.
I usually cut the wheel lip off ( leave a 1/4" to the outer quarter panel) and weld in a piece of 3/16" cold rolled rod to it. Then make a new outer wheel house section and weld that to the top of the 3/16" rod. It makes a nice smooth transition.
If you want the fat tires you gotta do the work.
