You should plan on rolling the front fenders. The rears will be fine.

Are rolled fenders necessary with 18 X 8.5's on the front? Ryn?

Senna, if your 18 x 8.5's extend more than 3/4 inch toward the fender more than the stock wheels do, and your FD is lowered more than 2 inches from stock, then you may need to roll the fenders to avoid tire and fender damage.

How much more your wheels/tires extend toward the fenders depends on the offset of you 18's. For reference the stock wheels have a 50 offset.
