Default To fender roll or not to fender roll?????Help!!!

Hey guys, I've searched and searched but could not find a definitive answer. I just got TE37s 19X9.5 (F) & 19X10.5 (R). Offsets are +22 all around. I currently have 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 Bridgestones in my possesion. I am lowered on GF210s which lowers 1" up front and 1.2 in the rears. Do i need to fender roll or am i OK.

Thanks guys!!!

I have the same set up as far as wheel size and offset and tire size. I rolled mine from the beginning so I dont know how much of a difference it made. But I dont rub at all. But I'm going with 255/285 this winter so I hope it still works out good.

i have same offset same size rims dropped on tein s techs and i had to roll my fenders. but with 275 tires u should be fine depending on ur drop, i have 285. put the rims on drive around over dips and lil bumps and if u hear something touching then roll them. the fronts wont rub but the rears might.

Do you have 35 or 30 series tires? Just wondering cause I'm looking at some 35 series and I am wondering if going with a 30 series might be a better idea.

Got the wheels on Finally!! I had the front rolled since i have 40 series tires, but for the rears, i didn't roll because i have 275/35s so it stretches out just a bit reducing the total diameter by a little. No rubbing so far.

Wouldn't cutting them reduce the the fender strength, as I have once been told.

if the bodyshop is quoting you $35 for cutting fenders, dont bother going. For it's gonna be bad job and it's gonna rust really fast.
