im on 225/45/18 with 18x8 ET30 with the fender below the top of the tire. still rubs occasionally when driving hard with my fenders rolled. if you're at no gap, you should be fine. if it does, roll it.

fender liners???? what are those??? lol

BTW, rolling your fenders isn't really that big a deal. Go old school like I did it...with a heat gun and a good ole Louisville Slugger handle...and lots of patience.

19x9 +13 with spacers right now with 225/35/19. It rubs the fender liners over dips and bumps but I can make U-turns slammed because my fenders are rolled.

I'm rolling on 19x9.5 mid disk ame's on the front and 19x10.5 on the rear (225/35R19 and 245/35R19) and the fender sits even with the top of the tire. Pulled a full turn and the fender rolled out... after rolling fenders back in I had no rubbing issues except on the fender lining on hard bumps. Suspension is tein flexs but not slammed all the way (kinda scared to cause more damage, haha) but you should most def roll rear fenders too (unless you want sliced sidewalls like me!) good luck!
