Def the best tire I ever bought. They def do grip in 2nd gear 5k rpms on 16psi. The car just pulled straight as hell. I was very pleased with these. Once they heat up you can literally feel how sticky they are with your hands. Def a solid buy for the price.

Good to hear!

What sizes did you go with and did you need to roll your fenders?

Could someone chime in and tell me if a 19x10.5 wheel with Toyos R888 295/30/19s and a slight drop (Hotchkis springs) require a fender roll or cut?

offset is very important, what is its? if its aggressive at all +24 or less you will most likely need to roll unless you are running a decent amount of camber.

Had to look up the offset. I have RH Pro J5's 19x10.5 +26. They have a pretty dip lip on them. Any more feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Getting fenders rolled may be slightly more expensive than getting them cut, but with a nicely rolled fender you can get more clearance.

However fender that are rolled if not done properly will lead to paint cracking issues in the future but I do agree with craig

I rolled mine with a $10 metal bat and no paint chip, just make sure you heat up the paint super hot.

Yeah, it's not too difficult to avoid cracking the paint. If you cut the fender you're going to have some exposed metal from the cut though. Either way you expose youreself to some long term rust issues.

I have mine cut too, but I think I'm going to be rolling them with a fender rolling tool here pretty soon.

I have fenders rolled, +22 19 X 10.5" rear wheel

I am dropped very conservatively, much more gap in rear than before, do you guys think a 305/30 will fit without rubbing? Body roll is non existant, but its gonna be close. Worse scenario I'll have the fenders pulled some.
