I think that you will rub but I guess it wont be that much... At speed on exit ramps you will rub but not much. I would suggest getting you fenders rolled as it is inexpensive and really not as much trouble as people make it out to be.

Lol great idea. Where can you actually get the tool to roll the fender? My friend wanted to do it with a blow torch and a baseball bat..........

Im sure any car shop can do it. I was charged $150 to roll my rear fenders and it turned out perfect. (I would suggest you take it to a shop and have it done right rather then with a baseball bat.)

I have the work cr kais 18x9.5 +12 with 245/40 on all 4 corners. Before spacers the front looked pretty good, the rears were a little sunk. I bought the powered by max adjustable spacers and spaced the rear 18mm and the front 7mm and it looks awesome! Ill see if I can get you some pics tonight.

spacers
