I don't have a problem with rolling though - I figure if Wynn had it done by dude than it has to look good (I've seen his car).
That's true, but you can take that 100-200 dollar savings and buy better tires, alignments or just take the savings.

Alex, the fronts will fit with a roll similar to my car with a 245/35 R18 tire. Fronts will be only 2mm closer to the fenders. You may need a very slight flare.

The rear will fit a 265/35 R18 tire with a roll similar to my car. The package will be 5mm closer to the fenders.

^^ Those are the sizes I would run if I were to get those wheels. Your fenders may need a slight flare if you run those size tires. If you do not want to flare fenders at all then run a 235/35 R18 front and a 255/35 R18.

you think that guy who did yours could do such a thing (flare) I like the look if the wheels are right.

I loved my rpf1's, but I'd rather get a 17x10 rim with a higher offset and run much wider tires. Don't get the flush look, but performance is increased which is better

Rolling is no big deal. Your car will look so much nicer and you will gain more track on the car (better handling). You are spending all this money on wheels and tires to make it look nicer, then you might as well pony up $200 more to have a professional roll your fenders to have them look flush. It's not like I'm advocating a stupid wide wheel with low low offsets and a bicycle tire. That is stupid imo. Performance above all else for me; at least in a sports car. While your package isn't the best performance package, Alex, it isn't bad. You are still going up in tire width.
