Not if you have the right offset, i have 18x8.5 and 18x10, eibachs w/ koni...fenders not rolled. My offset is +44

I am running 215/40/18 and 265/35/18, i might have to roll them if i go 285 in rear. For the front i rub once in awhile, so i would prolly roll the front, you might be able to get away without it in the rear.

So really depends on tire width and offset

215/40/18? That ain't the right size tire.

To the original poster: All lowered FD's with aftermarket wheels shoul get the front fenders rolled. The rears will be fine.

Dude...your sizes are retarded.

You should be running something like 245/40/18 in the front and 285/35/18 in the back.

You could prob even get away with 255 in front.

Right now you're running skinnier tires in front than stock, on a wheel that is half an inch wider!
