Default Just got wheels and tires mounted

Do you think I will rub if I hit a big dip/bump on the road? Do I need to roll my fenders? My specs are: 17x8+43 front with 215/45/17 and 17x9+48 rear with 245/40/17. Sumitomo HTR Z III.

Your offsets don't sound too bad, but this picture looks like it would be eating the fender on anything over 1" of suspension travel. Do you have a better pic looking down the side of the car?

The front fender looks like it will be fine, but I cant say on the rear.

Well, so far I have went over railroad tracks, manholes, potholes and it seems fine. No damage to the front or rear fenders.
