Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and am in need of some assistance. I've tried my best to do research in these forums and I haven't come across any definitive info on whether or not if I need my fenders rolled.

My plan is to get 17x7.5 +48 F and 17x9 +45 R Black Enkei RPF1's. I would prefer to run 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 tires. I am lowered on TEIN FLEX coilovers. The prev owner had the TEINS put on, so I don't know exactly what it was lowered by. I measured from next to the drivers seat and it seems to be about ~4.5 ride height. Front measurement is ~24.5in from ground to top of fender, and ~25.5 in the rear. I didn't check tire pressure so there could be some variance between the measurements.

Basically, am I going to need fender modification for all, just the rears, or not at all? There seems to be so many factors that some have said they didn't while other's say they did. I figure I'd ask those who have actually gone thru the trial/error. Appreciate the help. Thanks

front will be fine unless you slam it down. you might even want a small spacer.
the rears with a 255 will probably rub under hard cornering and or bumps. 25.5 is not that low a tiny bit of camber and a light roll in the rear and you will be smooth sailing

 

What spacer size are we looking it? Is the spacer absolutely necessary?

I do plan on doing some autox with it this year. With the roll in the rear I should be clear even under hard cornering?

 

yea roll just to be safe then. im saying spacer in the front just if you want the same flusher look your gonna have in the rear. as for the size.... if you dont want to do any fender work. 15-20mm should probably suffice
