Red face 18x8.5...Fender roll?

Would I have to roll my rear fenders if I got 18x8.5 +47 offest. I'm running on Tanabe GF210's on stock shocks. Thanks.

depends on the size of tire. But you would probably need to roll just the rear fenders. My fenders are cut thats another way to do it as well.

I don't know anything about those springs, what rates are you using? I'd count on at least a rear roll if not all 4...

i have 18x8.5s with a 45 offset and running 235/40/18 tires right now and they dont rub. with two people in the back, it rubs a little bit but I hardly ever have passengers in the back. I might roll them just in case.
