he definitely could, but it would look crappy IMO, to have the fronts flush and the rears not flush.

find a person in your area that KNOWS what they are doing when it comes to rolling fenders. the key is heating up the paint enough so it flexes. a properly rolled job will not have chipped paint and you cant tell the difference without looking underneath the fender well. plus you cant have that flush/aggressive stance without having rolled fenders

If you do it right, or get it done right, the paint wont chip, if it doesn't crack when performing the fender roll, it will never crack afterwards. You heat the paint up so it can flex, then once it cools down, it sets again.

Thanks for the information, but I know all about fender rolling guys, I researched it extensively and was close to doing it since I was planning to buy wheels with super aggressive offsets. That didn't work out though so I'm sticking with my current +26 all around setup as detailed in the OP. As far as why I don't want to do it, it's just a psychological thing, I don't like bending the metal on my car. It makes me uncomfortable, don't ask why.

In that case, i'd just do a 10mm spacer on the front so it's not so tucked in. For the rear, you can do the 5mm or 10mm if you want to make it close. If i were you, i'd get a set of 10mm spacers, see how they fit on the rear, if it doesnt rub, then you can leave them on and order another set of 10mm for the front.

Thanks for your advice, I think that's what I'll do.
