Roll or No Roll?

I just ordered some 19" Mercury Silver Volk CE28's. 9.5" for the front, 10.5" for the rear. I have the Hotchkis TVS kit on my car. My question is, am I going to have to roll my fenders when I put these on?

Assuming you got the usual 22 offset... Yes you will need to roll your rears...

I have a G, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to shear or roll my rear fenders. I'm going to run 255/35/19 on the front and 285/35/19 on the rear.

On a +22 offset??? No, you won't have to roll your fenders.

I guess you are somewhat right... I run 285 in the rear on 10.5 SF Challenge with a +24... At stock height I rub a little... With my drop now I know I would rub like there is no tomorrow if I didnt roll...

I guess it would depend on you tire selection... Im running BFG KDW 2's...

Here are some pics...

FWIW, I have Hotchkis springs and I'm not rubbing on my setup. My offset is +17 running 275/35 on the rear.

I think the real answer for the OP is:

It depends how much your car is dropped.
It depends on what wheel offset you bought.
It depends on what tire sizes you bought.

I could be wrong, but don't think they offer a +24 on the 10.5" wheel.

I would say you probably want a 19x9.5" +22 front, and 19x10.5" +22 rear. This is the size that most people would go with. For tires I would go with 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. Some other people opt to go with 285/35 or 285/30 or even 295/30. Just depends on what you're looking for.
