Default Just ordered new wheels. Trouble fitting?

Just ordered my new rims they are 18x8.75 with 35 offset. My car is lowered about 2 inches. Do think fitment will be a problem, will fender rolling be necessary . Let me know what you think

* also im putting them on a 225/40/18 tires so there will be a slight stretch if the would help fitment

depends on tires sizes and camber settings but most likely a roll will be needed.

yeah, the stretched 225s will get under the fender but you will probably still need a roll.

if you are lowered 2" then the rear will need a roll and probably relocate the bumper tab as well. the front might need the fender liner trimmed a bit and/or a roll depending on how the fitment looks.

Odd that you would order wheels first before doing any type of research.

what's your camber setting now? all you might need is a degree or two(or three!) more if you can. just need to get the shoulder of the tire just barely inside the edge of the fender from the same views as your pictures. if that is your ride height then you have room for suspension travel. as the suspension compresses you actually get more camber. so by the time the tire reaches the fender over a hard bump the tire will tuck in more.

My camber is stock right now. Also in the picture is not the right height im going for, i am dropping it 2 inches from there. I will prob go 2.5 camber all around maybe 3 depending on how it looks
