Fender Roll Required?

I am considering the Varrstoen 2.2.1 in 18x9.5/10.5 +22mm all around. My g35 coupe is a daily driver. I will run 245/40-18 and 275/40-18 or wider for front and rear, respectively. I have a modest drop with Eibach Pro-Kit and SPC front and rear alignment kits to restore factory specs. My question is with this aggressive wheel fitment will I have tire rubbing issues? I do not want to roll the fenders, so I will find a more conservative wheel If this setup requires fender rolling.

with the +22 you will have no problems with rubbing especially since you don't have much of a drop and have the camber kits as well

^i think people have it in their minds that rolling fenders is like major body work and is bad for our cars

Honestly, I've never broken paint on a G or Z and I've rolled probably 50 of them combined. Hell I did a 2" pull and never broke the paint. Infiniti and nissan paint is so soft that it's malleable when warm.

Its not so much that I don't want to roll the fenders, it more of the fact that I do not care for such an aggressive offset that I have to roll the fenders. Clean and simply, and I can put some meat on there if I so choose for a HPDE, Autocross or Drift Event.

Then don't call it aggressive wheel fitment lol

if you're tracking the car you should ALWAYS roll the fenders, if you take a corner and it just so happens to rub on that hard steel 1/4 panel, it's going to cut through it like butter and you're going to write off the car.

+22 shouldn't rub as it is conservative, but as said above if you have track days in the future, roll the fenders.

Buying new TPMS sensors and getting them programmed to your car could cost more than the wheels. I would def. keep your originals and have those mounted on your new wheels.
