Default Fender rolling

Aloha, I was woundering if I would need to roll my front fenders besides my rear my tire set up is 9.5 with a 265/35/18 and a 10.5 with a 275/35/18 +15 all around. I’ve recently purchased coilovers and I wanna give my car the tucked look to it but with that being said I really don’t wanna have to roll my fronts and have to pull of my liner. Any advice would help thanks.

I’ll full max my front coils and see where it’s at. But is your front wheels tucking in the fenders aswell ?

Tires this short will defeat the purpose of "tucking" in when the tires are so short they create wheel gap.

OE diameter is 25.97 and 26.68 F-R. Your suggested sizes are 25.30 and 25.58 F-R.

Use 255/40-18. 275/40-18 on those +15 wheels. You will almost certainly need to roll n' seal the rears with +15s unless you go up to a +22 to +25 rear offset.

Fronts, if you go 265/40, you will likely need to remove the liner screw at top. And, since there's no upper lip to roll for clearance, pulling is the only option. There are lips F&R that can be rolled for clearance but look like crap and you shouldn't ever need to roll those with reasonable suspension/alignment and proper tires. Only time you would likely need to clearance those lips is you're running exterme drift angles then who cares what it looks like since its going to get destroyed anyways. Get the right size tires/wheels to start.and forget about fender mods.
