You'll be fine. High offset is the key here.

Gotta watch the suspension though! If you're not running coilovers a 45mm offset wheel might rub on the suspension!! Bernie and Antonio are on coilovers which give more room to push the wheels inside.

My 18"x7.5" wheels had 43mm offset, and I was tucking tire at all four corners without rubbing and without rolling the fenders either.. That was 225 tire too!

Antonio, don't cut the fender lips, get them rolled up. Find a place that has the real rig to do it, the one that bolts up in place of your wheel. With a heat gun and some patience they should be able to save your paint as well. If you cut them you're reducing strenght.. there's welds along there, and you don't want to weaken them.

Sorry brother, I don't think "rolling fenders" and "professional" fit in the same sentence.


Do it the old school way with a baseball bat and a buddy.

BTW, did it a few weeks ago on an '03 S-10 with 18" in front, 20" in back and 4-way air ride.

i'm not sure what u mean? i meant taking it to a performance tuner shop that has the real equipment to roll fenders properly and do it without risking damaging paint. i'm curious what i'd have to pay someone at a shop.

I'd trust this better. Heat gun to try and keep the paint pliable. Real careful and take your time. Or bring it to a shop where they're used to it, probably just pay them their time.

Here's how it's done, good pictures.
