A note for rolling the fenders, Jeff the alignment guy has a fender roller + heat gun that he rents out cheap. $30 or so and you get it untill you are done/ he'll give you a hurry up when someone else asks for it. I had it for a week. Worked well, I was able to stretch my front fenders out about 1" and up about 1" as well. The rears have a lot more structure to them, so you can't make near the gains you can get in front.

These would fix your traction problems but I'm guessing they would be a bit extreme for what you want.
