Will fender rolling make 15x10 wheels fit?
My friend wants to sell me a set of enkei 92's. Front is 15x8.5 and real is 15x10. The 15x8.5 fit really good on the back, but rub a little bit. I havent tried fitting them in the front. now the 15x10 on the rear just sticks out too much. I wanna fit this set in but I feel that the 15x10 stick out so much that rolling fenders wont get me anywhere. Thoughts?...Here are some pics

Yeah no, rolling your fender won't get you anywhere, you need to go widebody for sure or get some large *** overfenders...

You can roll the fenders to fit the wheels, but it will require metal shaping and body work. It is not just a simple roll/pull.

I have 10.5" wide wheels on pulled steel 1/4's.

Get some 255 wide tires.

it's all about having the right offset.... I have 17x10s on the back of my FC w/ 275s and they fit fine.

those don't look like they have close enough offset to fit.

mine are +30s:
