Default Sportlines/Work Wheels question

I just dropped my Z today with a set of Sportlines, and my Work Wheels are sitting here waiting to go on the car, but I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the fenders need to be rolled. The Wheels are Work Emotions 9.5 +20 (275/40R18) in the rear and 8.5 +20 (245/40R18) in the front. Thanks Guys.

nice to see that your getting the rims on! I got my work emotion 9.5 +12 all around with 245/275 and I dropped my car with tanabe 1.0F and 1.2R I needed to roll the rear just a little so you should be good with the +20, I rolled it so miniscule.

the drop of the eibach sportlines in the front is 1.2, I really doubt you will have to mod the fenders.

the tire type (exact brand) is just as important as the actual size

not all 274/40's are the same physical size

the physical size of the tire, not the tire "size" on the sidewall, is what determines if it fits with or without rolling

Yeah, I just barely got back from Iraq on Thursday, So I've been waiting to out them on.

Thanks everyone...I know Im gonna get frowned on for this...but I went with Nitto 555's 275/40's in the rear and 245/40's in the front. Thanks guys. The car is pretty slammed right now...but I REALLY need to get those wheels on...the wheels are so far into the fenders, it looks GAY. lol. AND...dont worry, that GReddy lip is comming off and Im putting a Nismo V1 kit on. That lip got SO beat up at Willow Springs.
