DO I NEED TO ROLL FRONT FENDERS?

Fronts 20*8.5 offset 13mm
Rear 20*10.5 offset 26mm

I am told that front fenders need to be rolled (tirerack) is this correct information?

- I believe I seen members on this forum with similar offset, even with 21s not rolling fenders..

Do I need to roll front fenders?

I dont think you need to unless you are planning on lowering it.

I suggest you try driving the car without rolling the fender first, then if you are rubbing then roll it.

I have sports oem and didn't need to roll my fenders with this set-up:

Front 20X8.5 offset +15mm Tire 245/35/20
Rear 20X10 offset +22mm Tire 285/30/20

What size tires?

Tires will be:

245/30/20
295/25/20

Tirerack said rears will be fine.. but they originally recommended 255/30/20 for fronts but i am going with 245s hoping 10th of a difference would help.
