Will 305 tires require fender rolling?
Looks like I'm going 19x8.5 F // 10.5 R with 245's in front and 305's in the back.
Will my fenders need to be rolled/cut on STOCK suspension?

more than likely but it all depends on the drop, alignment and offsets of the wheels. id get at least a 255 up front if you are going 305's in the rear. i run 255/35 front and 305/30 rears.
edit: oh yeah.. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU stretched tires.

Yea I'm gunna have to bump up to 255 in the front.
The offset of the wheel is 25 i believe. Cordon Cr-10's.
d2autosport is doing everything for me. I'm just worried about fenders and also whether my car will look like a 4x4 with 305's

Kid i know's slammed vtec had fenders cutting into his tires. So he was gunna get his rolled or cut. He told me 300-600 for cut rolled and repainted is what he was paying
I guess rolling on its own is much cheaper. Where do i even find a shop who does that?
Also, do you think i'll need front + rear rolled? Or just rear? (b/c my front left fender was hit and its bent inwards so it probably cant be rolled)

I couldn't find anyone local to do it, so I rented the kit from this guy. Something like $83 after shipping. Had a friend operate the heat gun while I used the tool. We went REALLY slow and it took us about 2 hours to do both sides about as flat as you're going to get without having to do body work. Pretty easy stuff.
FYI, I didn't need to roll with 18x10.5 +15mm with 295/30 and stock suspension. But the car looked stupid. Like as in drove me nuts stupid. So I spent a little more and did what was necessary to get the car lowered some. Much better, but rolling was NECESSARY for me.

drop versus camber correction makes a HUUUUGE diff on the room between the fender and that wheel top in the rear of the Z. I have stance LX (all the way up in the back..... ) and even w lower camber bars installed i had some pretty serious camber... toe makes a giant difference in the overall alignment back there too. I had a full string up aligment done and got the rear to 1.5 degrees negative and toes removal bolts put in.. poretty straight up and down........
....and the 9.5 wheel ( +25 offset) w 275 30 20 tires rubbed w a 5mm spacer.. removed spacer, no more rub.. so thats not a huge tire or wheel..anda 5mm spacer aint much wiggle room.
The issue w the fender roll is that its really hard to do w out creasing the paint.
SO alot of ppl will tell you its cheap becuase they are backyarding it ( not knocking that.. thats how i roll anyways ha) and some places will tell you its alot ; tidy work, repaint etc..
just my 2 cents is all.
( It ended up that I went 305 but run widebody and low offset now, so Intense cut it all out, folded it up and welded mine back to clear the whole tire. I did not wana back yard that as I usually would.
