Fronts are rolled from the factory.

Need to know offset and width of your wheels, also the fronts are rolled, but you can roll them slightly more and also pull them if needed.

You already have your answer.

I would only add that rolling front fenders is rare to the point I've never seen it done.

You will probably need to pull the fender liner screw out , cut it down , reinstall and bend the mounting tab in slightly.

I've noticed there's three screws holding the liner to the front fender.
Do we remove all three?
(Sorry for thread jacking )

Depends on the amount of camber you have, how wide of a tire you have (not all 245's are actually the same width)

Trouble LOL, the job is less than 5 minutes per side.

Just the top one , the one almost centered above the wheel.

Thank you for the info!
It's time to close the gap between my tires and fender.
And @ the 5 minutes perside comment...
It took me a LOT longer than 5 minutes a side to roll the fenders
I suggest that when rolling the fenders, you take more time.
Your fenders will crack, and it's sucks.

I'm not talking about a roll, i'm talking about removing the screw (1 per side) cutting it down , reinstalling , then slightly folding the tab on the fender in more to where the tire willnot rub on it.

not gonna waist my time responding to this ..

as for your front .. check rimtuck . com and enter your specs on the data sheet with pictures... u will see that your numbers u have are very common.. and work like a charm... without rolling or cutting..

im on a 9.5 front with a +4 offset.. with a 225 35 front.. and i can go as low as i like. as u can see my tire is a little bit more stretched and i still have lots of room.. if u have the option go with a 225 35 cheers
