Default Problems drag racing with non-rolled fenders

Alright, so I'm lowered on Tanabe GF210's and I recently got some 275/40/18 tires and they rub a tad bit. Haven't gotten the opportunity to roll my fenders yet but I still want to go to the track tomorrow night. Will I have any problem drag racing when I need my fenders rolled? They only rub a tad bit. You really don't notice it until you get up to 60mph. I also have to drive an hour to get to the track. Probably not good on the tires. I plan on getting them rolled soon. My brother has just been backed up recently with other projects and he said he will roll my fenders for free. Thanks in advance.

Mine rubbed a bit. When I had a blowout at +100 mph (because it rubbed) I decided that it was time to roll.

Don't wait too long !

I wouldn't do it if I were you. You might be fine, but you would be risking:
1. a tire blowout like JCat mentioned
2. cracking and damaging fenders which can lead to rusting and other problems

Rolling your fenders is an easy process that doesn't take terribly long if you get the correct tools. I wouldn't risk it at the track while rubbing if I were you.
