Too roll or not too roll....

That is the question.....running CCW 17x 9.5 front (255s) and 17x10 rear (275s). It appears that the rears might rub but I am not for sure.....will rears fit up in the wheel wells without having to roll the rear lip?? Thanks

You'll need to also provide the offsets.

Depends on offset, camber, and how hard you drive it. My 18x10 CCWs rub in the rear only under track conditions when just the right combination of Gs and compression occurs.

Bottom line, if you track it...it may rub. I recommend rolling before they rub. If you don't track it, it probably will never rub.

any serious tire damage when it has rubbed? What is a good cheap way to roll them? Other than ball bat as for the offsets I am not sure.....what are the offsets on your 18x10s....might job my memory
