Will this setup need fender rolling

I don't want to roll my fenders if I don't have to. I'm not lowered yet but I have
18x9.5+12 varrstoen es1s and a 255/35 hankook tire.
Tried asking on the sticky but no answer. Thanks guys

You will probably need to roll the front fenders

No, but the rears will need a roll. Also, 255/35 is narrow and short. Go with a 265/35 at minimum.

Not the font, rears only if needed.

This^^^ 265/35 fits perfect on a 9.5. I would roll all 4 fenders. Nothing wrong with rolling your fenders. Just go to a reputable shop that does it all the time.

The front fenders DO NOT need rolled. Stop saying that.

18x9.5 +22 and 265/35's likely won't need a rear roll.

None at all... Like it's been said over and over again, front fenders do not need rolling.


I only rolled my rear and I'm running 275/35

How do you roll front fenders? I've asked 2 reputable fender rolling shops in SoCal and they both said you can't roll the fronts, need to cut/shave them. They were reluctant to do it, highly recommended I didn't for my fitment.

Whats your fitment? Unless you have some stupid stance nation BS you shouldn't need to touch the front fenders.

I know you don't need to mess with the front fenders but why do they never need to messed with? Is there more room inside the front fenders than the rear?

Yes. And if you do need more room (for fitting 285's or 295's on 10.5" wheels) its better to do the evo dave fender mod.

I'm running 18x9.5 +22 TE37 all around on 265/35 (which look slightly stretched IMO), no spacers. I don't know the exact number of inches it's lowered, but it's approximately one finger gap. Roughly -1.5 camber.

I rub the fronts if I take a turn at 40+ mph, usually on on ramps. I'm running FEALs and dampened it to 25 out of 32 clicks. Some of the plastic inside the fender has already been splintered from rubbing.
