Does your tire stick out more than this?

Haha too funny that we have the same setup. Thanks for the input. I was hoping to not have to roll my fenders but i guess i have no choice with this offset. THey look nice but are turning out to be a real pain in the a$$, espesially if i get stuck with the BF's. worst case ill post em for sale and take a hit on em.

ok.. just spoke with shop and told them that im gonna get the 275's but need to roll fenders anyways.. he said, bring it in now before i order new tires and theyll roll them anyways just to see how it is. If its not too bad maybee ill just keep these, although the fronts are too big with the 255/35's on em.. but i guess i can deal.

I have the same setup... I am lowered on S-Techs... I rubbed with toyos (275/35/19) I had them rolled and now I can easily run a 285. Save your money and just get the quarters rolled. Theres absolutely no reason to buy new tires.... senseless IMHO. good luck in the direction you decide to take!

So i dropped the car off at the shop a little while ago and they said the amount they would have to roll the fenders, theirs a good chance theyll crack. WTF! so now, im getting a set of toyos to try instead or atleast hopefully help with the roll so its not as extreme. Anyuone want a set of VOLKS? brand new with tires!

did they have to roll your fenders alot? shop told me that they stick out soo much that they need a real seriouse fender roll. To the point where it could crack and would cost me about 1200 repainted. YAY! more money out the window!!!!!

Well the shop that did the install is very reputable and they deal with Ferrari's, Lambos and Porche's for the Greenwich CT community. The fender rolling i find out is done by a body shop they use. I dont know much about them but i am gonna get the new toyos and see how they fit. If a roll is needed, hopefully it can be done without damaging the fenders. I wonder if one day i will actually get to enjoy my new wheels.
