285's... is rolling a must?

If I wanted to run 285's out back (285 / 35 / 19) out back on 10.5" rims do I have to roll the fenders or can I get away with not rolling them?

Thanks.

I had to cut my rear fenders to accommodate a set of Toyo T1-R 285/35/19 on my Junction Produce 19"x10.5" +24 medium disk wheels. You may not have to cut if you run more negative camber.

Neg Camber and Offset are going to help fit them.

I think I am running a 28 offset out back on 10.5" SF challenges... I have 275 / 35 / 19's currently and was going to see if 285's might work but I want to avoid cutting / rolling my fenders. I might stay safe and stick w/ the 275's...

Lol... um, yeah... you guys are just tooooooo funny!!

ok, ok, ok.... so I wused out and ordered the 275's again... they look good on there and I know they preform incredible.

might look into spacers to kick out the fronts 10-15mm to line up better with the CF fenders and I would need to do the rears as well to even it out.

You should be fine with your offset. Just depends on your camber/drop.

I have 285/35/19 Toyo T1R and 10.5+18. It wouldn't happen all the time, but it would occasionally rub. Haven't had any problems since I got the rear fenders rolled.

with a +28 offset... and close to factory camber settings, you wouldnt need to roll or cut the fenders.

Thanks for the feedback... It is either a 23 or 28 on the rears, cant really remember I had the barrels chromed do the sticker is gone now.... I ordered the 275's to be safe as I am dropped on Espelir GT springs as well.

Thanks for the feedback, here is a shot of her with the 275's out back... looks kinda tight for 285's actually.
