Default Do I need to get my fenders rolled for these sizes?

My back rims are 10 in back and fronts are 8.5 but they are 20's. I'm going to run 275/30/20 on the rear and 245(maybe 235)/30/20 on the front.I already ordered my rear tires but I'm going to order the fronts this week so also if any of you have an opinion on th front tire size let me know. But some are saying yes and others no so I figured I would ask some fellow Z guys what they do in stead of my mustang and Honda friends haha.

I would definitely recommend getting them rolled. Just get it done before it's too late.

All depends on the offset of your wheels. Since you didn't post your offset, we can't really help you

Sorry I forgot the offset, +25 in back and +30 front.

...not dubs. I didn't want 20s either but believe it or not I got paid $300 to have these so I'm not gunna pass it up. They're black konig afterburners brand new with plastic. They should look decent. I have tein coilovers so hopefully I can get a decent stance especially with 30 side wall tires. Anyway now can anyone better help? Thanks.

They should not rub. Here is a 19x10" wheel with +25 offset with 275 wide tires and you can see how much room there is. IMO...roll your fenders and put in a 15mm spacer.

Awesome man thanks alot. It looks really good. I'll eventually do spacers, money is tight. Do you think I should do a 245 or 235 on my 8.5 front wheels?

No roll needed with those tire sizes, wheel widths, and wheel offsets.

I think you would do best with a 245, although technically a 235 will fit. It depends on how stretched you want it to look, what sidewall heights are available, etc. Here is a zoomed-out version of the picture I posted above. The front tires were 245/35/19 and you can see they were a bit stretched on the my 9" front wheels, so obviously 245's would look less stretched on your 8.5" wheels.

Also take into consideration what your rear tires will look like as far as stretch-factor goes, and whether you want the rears and fronts to look the same in that aspect.
