Will these wheels work with some Konis and RB springs?

It depends on a lot of factors. However, I never said he couldn't run those offsets. I said he needed the roll the fender to do so.

Sorry for the noob question but what is rolling your fenders and why is it needed?

Thanks
John

If you look at your fenders, as they come to down they basically makes an a 'L' shape (if you are looking at the drivers side from a cross-section behind the wheel). When you lower your car or add larger wheels, the tires can catch & pull on that flat part. It can damage the fender and your tires.

The idea is to bend up the flat part of the 'L' to make it move of a '|/' shape or even hammer it flat.

The problem is if it's not done right, as the fender is being bent back it and damage and crack the paint. So, a lot of people don't want to risk that unless their car is in the shop ready to be painted. I had mine hammered flat and it did damage the paint.
