Default Do I need to roll?

Im only lowered 1" on tein s techs. Will i need to roll for sure? Rear wheels are 18x9 +43 and tires are 245-35-18. It almost looks like it will be fine but I cant tell without driving it, and I cant drive it because too much snow outside.

thanks guys.

I would say yes even with a narrow tire.

^^ Interesting. So your 9.5" with +50 offset and im a 9" with +43 offset. that a total difference of 5.7mm that your wheels are sticking out further then mine.

9.5" - 9" = 12.7mm
+50 - +43 = 7mm

Diff = 5.7mm

So if you barely rub then I should be ok since I dont even have the Koni's. Sweet.

it'll probably rub on hard corners and freeway bumps...just roll 'em yourself.
