you'll need new studs for spacers 25mm + fwir

this requires some skill. fender rolling should be performed by someone
who knows what they're doing. you should reexamine your budget imo to
include wheels.

If I'm looking for that wide body stance, and want to keep my tires even with the outside of my fenders, do I really need to roll my fenders?

I already ordered the spacers.. I found a picture of a Z where the tires were even with the outside of the fenders and he used 25mm spacers on all 4 wheels.. However, it didnt say if he dropped it any..

I found alot of different pictures of wheels that look like they site in th same position but they all have different offsets.. How do you know what offset to go with if each brand is so different? I have my eye on a nice set of wheels but I cant find anyone else that is using them so I dont have a clue what offset to go with to achieve the stance I want..

the roll is simple, easy, and painless///

the cost of not doing the roll can be brand new rear tires.

our fenders are not forgiving and you will scrape. unless you drive only 5mph.

post that picture! And since you're choosing a widebody stance go with the lowest offset that made for those wheels you want. just keep in mind that in the long run some mods you could do for added safety are reinforced hubs, wheel studs, wheel bearings, camber arms, endlinks, and a stiffer suspension. All of these will help make the ride more comfortable and aid in suspension geometry.
