Wheel Fitment question, i think this will work?

i am looking to purchashing these wheels for my 91 Vert,

fronts = 17x8.5 +30 offset
rears = 18x10 +24 offset

I am thinking these wheels will fit, i know my rears definately will clear with fender rolling or widen fenders. But my fronts i'm a little iffy on???? let me know if this will work guys?

thanks in advance!

fronts will work. depending on suspension, you can run 235-255 tires.
rear will def need a roll, or pull, depending on tire width

yah i bought an eastwood roller and went to town. i overdid it to be honest..
but its really not very hard to do nicely.
if you're gonna pull your fenders, id recommend only doing a little at a time, then test fitting till you get the desired clearance. i pulled the hell out of them, put the wheel on, and realized i had like an inch of extra room... haha
when i say test fit, i mean disconnect the strut, and just jack the wheel all the way up into the fenderwell

Good looking out man, i'll make sure to keep that in mind...

When you roll you fenders does it mess up with the paint finish on the fender? looks like it doesn't, i could be wong?

it'll crack the paint right along the edge, because you're folding it 180 degrees. i doubt any paint could survive that.. it didnt crack any where else tho.
they say to use a heat gun to help soften the paint, just in case.
