Rota Drift Grids (FD3S)!

Hey guys, could do with some help! just got my rota drift grids home and the sizes are for the rear 18/9.5 with offset of 30, and for the front 18/8.5 with offset of 35. Now my fd is quite low and with the old wheels being 18/9 with offset of 35 rear and 18/8 with offset of 35 front, the old wheels were quite close to the arches. so tonight i try my new alloys on, but without tyres and am realy not sure if the back ones are going to fit!? its hard to tell without tyres but i think with the extra 0.5" plus the different offset it might be a struggle? i dont want to get tyres on just yet till i know its going to work. I have been told that i mite have to roll the arches to get away with it, and i would be happy to do that if its an easy job? but can i get away with putting a roll in the arch? Cheers for the help!

i think they'll fit but im just guessing... im running 17x9 with a +17 offset... im sure my 18 offset difference is enough to compensate for .5inches... my fenders are rolled tho...

rolling is easy for a pro or noob. i did mine and they arent bad imo. but i have the tool for it.. its like 200 bucks
