I knew it would fit the rear I'm just worried about the front... I don't really like the crazy pulled look but I don't really wanna go wide body in the front either... pics of a front fender with a lot of pull would be nice I'm gonna go back to searching... thanks again

Tire stretch is very minimal(sp?). The problem is that even with the stretch just the tread is under the fender which looks retarded. Its not the tire you need to pull the fender for its the rim itself. I pulled and rolled the stock fenders and am about a 1/4in short but i think with a bigger bat i can get it.
30mm front fenders would cover it no problem.
here is a pic for example
front fenders with 215
rear with 215

16x8 -1 up front. Early sawzall stage of my car...........Tires stuck out almost 2 inches. Looked interesting to say the least. Ok, it looked like ***.
No clearance issues at all with stock suspension. There is a reason no one does this, you are definately right.

When I first heard of fender rolling or "flaring"~I thought the intent was for the ability to lower the car without having tire rubbing issues. Now days its being used as a stylish way to make your car look better. I already know that both reasons are why fender rolling is so popular and personally, I believe it is cool and unique.
-You are saying, flare the fenders so that the rim itself doesn't rub on the fender? I've seen a couple of pictures with FC's slammed to the ground (looks very nice) but isn't that very dangerous when driving down the road?

No the rim isn't even close to the fender, thats the point. You want the WHOLE rim to be under the fender. When it sticks out it looks like *** as dawicka pointed out.
If you look at my pictures, that is what your car would look like. The tread would be under the fender as those are 215's in the picture but the rim and the rest of the tire still stick out. Stretched tires are dumb, they don't let you fit a wider rim on your car cuz the rim is too big, not the tire. I have never understood how ppl think it looks nice.

Its always been a problem for me when it comes to tire size soo if it where 16x7(front) and x8(back) will it still be the same tire set up? want to get the 1.5lip and they only sell its in 16x7. the back i still wnat the 3.5 lip so 16x8.
