to roll my fenders or not to roll my fenders?
So I ordered some special edition gramlight time attack rims yesterday. They will not be here for another 3 months so I have time to do some research and shopping for tires. First off, they are 18x8.5. Do I have to roll my fenders to prevent any rubbing? I have 18x8s right now and I have no problems at all. Also, what tires have you guys had on your car that I should look into? What size tire would work with 18x8.5s? Thanks in advance for all replies.

they are 18x8.5 +45. you think I might have to roll my fenders if I go with a 235 or 245 tire?

I have been wondering the same thing. I have a set of 18x8.5 +50 and can't for the life of me figure out if 245's will be safe or should I go with 235's?

I am also looking to get some RE-01Rs!!!!!
