25mm if you cut the oem rear fenders.

No, rolling is not the same as cutting. With cutting you are increasing the arc size of the fender. If you don't cut the fender and still put a much wider wheel with the over fenders, the tires will still rub on the stock panel.

a lot of people roll it and then pull it up or out because they said they might want to go back to stock and remove the over fenders...BUT the rivets holding the over fenders on require you to drill into your rear QP and rolling the QP and pulling it up or out is WAY more difficult to return to stock...etc...just my .02

btw, i cut about a good 2.75 inches and almost passed out in the process

Did you do anything else except cutting it? Like any reinforcements, etc?
