Default Will I need fender rolling for this offset and drop?

Like I wrote in the other thread, I've got some RPF-1s at 18.9.5 +15 front and 18x10.5+15 rear. I know the look is quite flush, but what do other people with this, or similar setups, think about the need to fender roll to prevent rubbing, with a small (1.0 inch MAX) drop?

Thanks in advance again, people!

You should be ok with only a 1" drop.
I have GF210's with a 1" front 1.2" rear drop on 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 ( or visa vesa for the offsets) and my tire ends up almost directly under the fender lip. Never rubbed once.

Ah-ha. Though, you only rub in the rear do you? if he dropps 1" instead of 1.2 of the GF210's he might be ok. Guess it depends on his tire set-up

Thanks for the replies, folks. Oh, and sorry, I neglected to mention the tires. They are 245/275 in width, 40 series profile (so the overall wheel/tire height is VERY close to that of stock, front and rear)

ok with 40 series you will definitely have to roll your fenders. I have 35 series and its close.
