Question Will I have to roll my fenders?

Im putting Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Spring on my X. I want to get 18x9.5 +20 or +22 rims. With the lowering springs on the car will I have to roll my fenders? Thanks in advance.

depends on your tires...265/35 seems to be the safest.

Sorry, forgot to mention what tire size I would be using. It would be 265/35/18. Would I need to roll the fenders with that size tire?

I would suggest hitting up on tirerack.com and check out the spec of the tires you want buy, so you can compare the diameter in size opposed to stock height.

I think with the +20 there's a chance you'll rub depending on how much camber you're running. I'm running 18x9.5 +20w/ 255/35/18 and would definitely need my fenders rolled if I wasn't running as aggressive an alignment.
My setup:

18x9.5 +20 Rota Torque (Hyper Black)
255/35/18 Z1 Star Specs
Evasive Motorsports Spec Zeal Functions Xs
Camber: F:-3.7/R:-2.7
Caster: F:Max/R:Max
Toe: F:0/R:0

I want to get 18x9.5 +20 Rota Grid(Flat Black) with 265/35/18 Nitto Invo. I will roll my fenders if I have to.

How hard/long does it take and whats a good cost for getting them rolled?

I would not recommend the Nitto Invo. I highly recommend the NT-05 if you're sticking with Nitto, or the Dunlop Direzza Star-Specs (I have these and LOVE them).

The amount of time and cost for rolling your fenders depends on the place you go to.

I recommend you run 275/35/18 so that you can get a more accurate read on your speedometer and higher performance!!!!

Just my .02

Ya, if you are going to roll your fenders, might as well go 275/35/18

They will rub.

You will need to roll the rear arches and warm up and move the front arch liners in front of the wheel where the air vents are.
