a roller would indeed make the job easier and make for a more consistent roll/pull so by all means, use one instead hahahaha

i really should buy one...

youll be fine.. mine is 245 all around on megan springs, I even did the spring mount cut after the pic and I still have room and no scrapes... I wouldnt even worry about 265'd unless they had stupidly tall sidewalls.... BUT, when coil overs come into play... thats a different story...

I'm on springs+springmount mod atm and my rears are 295/30/19. Fenders are rolled and there's no rubbing. The front on the other hand is a different story
