18x9s with Coilovers

So i am planning on upgrading my wheels from stock to 18x9 +35 Rota G Forces with 235/35/18 tires. I have k sport coilovers but keep hearing mixed responses about rolling my fenders. Will these fit my 06 Wrx without modifying the body? Planning on buying wheels on Saturday so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you'll rub TOO much but you will have contact for sure. Just roll your fenders dude. I don't see why people hate rolling the fenders. Lol a roll will give you just the right amount of clearance depending on how low you go. I can roll em for you if your local in the east bay. 100 bucks all 4.

get the wheels you want and get your fenders rolled. its better than you fenders cutting up your side walls of your tires.

roll

I have 18x9 et35 G-Forces and have ran 235/40/18 (Falken fk452's) and 225/40/18 (Pirelli P-Nero Zero M&S) on an 05 with coilovers. You can get away without having to roll the front fenders but would roll the rear. I would leave a 2-3 finger wheel gap or more if you plan "driving" the car. If you're pretty useless like I am with zero gap, you WILL RUB front and rear when you hit hard bumps or even take a corner fast using 235/40 or 225/40. I do this since I barely drive the car much/at all.

05 Sedan, rolled front and rear, front fender liners removed.

Front Camber -1.5
Rear Camber -2.5
