I have 245/40/18 Dunlop Star Specs, had to roll the rears. Rubbed some of the fender liner up front off as well...Only rubs up front at wheel lock and when you hit a big enough dip in the road at higher speeds.

not all 255/35/18s are created equal.

some 255s are narrow than other brands.

But whatever the reason, i'd still roll the rear fenders just to be safe.

Don't be afraid of rolling your fenders. Don't let it deter you from rollin' in style!

Agreed!!! I know people running 245/40/18 Falken RT-615s with the same wheels and springs and they don't rub at all. I've been told the 245 Star Specs are just as wide as 255 RT-615's.

It's what I plan on running for my next set of tires.
