Will these fit with rolled fenders?

OK, still on the search for some new wheels. Having the hardest time finding anything, so I'm willing to do almost anything at this point... I have a sedan by the way.

I'm looking at some Rota Torque's in 18x8.5 +25 for the front and 18x9.5 +35 in the rear. Currently I'm dropped an inch on 350Z suspension. Will I have any trouble with these if I get the fenders rolled?

Edit: Forgot to mention, I want to put 245/40 tires in the front and 275/35 in the rear. Thanks!

What kind of camber were you running with that? 8.5 +20 seems near impossible without some crazy camber based on what I've been reading.

You know what though, I'm pretty annoyed with trying to decide on which wheels will fit so I've pretty much decided now to go with some Forgestar F14's and get my own custom offsets. I'm thinking 8.5 +35 for the front and 10.0 +42 for the rear. I know I'll have to get the rear fenders rolled also. Do you think those are good offsets/sizes to go with?

Also, I need to decide between gunmetal or gloss black lol. Opinions?

i was running like -1.5 or something like that but i was kinda low on 350z tein s techs

it depends how flush/aggressive you want to go with your offsets ...

how low are you now or want to be ...

on a sedan 8.5+35 your tire will be sunk inside the fenders .. +20 will be nice flush look
you can do a 10 wide out back rolled fenders and less camber at 35+ offsets ..

here are some pictures of my car with the old wheels and stuff and the specs are 19x8.5+20 w/ 245/35 at -1.5º camber and 19x9.5+35 265/30 at -2.3º camber

Right now I'm dropped an inch on 350Z suspension and I probably wouldn't want to go any lower.

So do you think I'll be fine with a 10.0 in the rear with 275 tire and -1.4 camber with rolled fenders?

Alright, thanks! Now you have me wondering if I should go with a lower offset in the front though, haha. I ran this setup I want through an offset calculator and it says my rears will extend out 12mm farther than the front.

How about an 8.5 +25 in the front? Then the rears would only extend out 2mm more. I have -1.0 camber there right now. Would I have to roll fenders to avoid rubbing?

you can do +25 front its up to you and how you want your fitment to look ... i would do the fenders with a 10 out back to be safe

go here and look at the 13th sedan he has 8.5+35 and 10 +42 which is what you want and roll your fenders and it will look good and not alot of camber

You will be fine with those specs. Currently I am running 20x9 + 10 in the front with 2.5 degree of camber. If I got camber arms up front I could probably pull that out to 1.0-1.5 degree and be fine.
