what size tyres you running? i'm using 205/55 on my cav wheels and i got a small amount of scrubbage on both sides.After some hammer action it was fine.
if yours is really minimal its not worth rolling them so yeah just take a mallet to the lip and gently tap. (with wheel off obviously), go too far and the paint will crack on the outside so be careful!!!
