Oh yeah, rolling can lead to pulling.

Dan,
I'm going to test fit the wheels this week if I have some time. I have a very conservative offset, so I may be able to get away with no cutting, but who knows. Let me know when. After the new year I should have time. I also have all the tools and plenty of garage space at the house.

Yeah, but cutting the fronts is a little iffy to me because the metal is already thin. I would prefer to cut/shave the front as well but if you roll them then u can always tuck the liner between the fold depending on how much rolling you did.

you rub mainly because you have overspec tires. i think the corner where bumper meets fender that's where you rub. 10+40 is not that aggressive, i think if you take off the plastic trim and should have enough clearance already, otherwise some shaving is all you need

Falken FK452 275/30/20, had no rubbing issues. Well when i switched brands to Continental DWS 275/30/20, it rubbed due to the tire being too wide. I couldn't get myself to cut my fenders so i re-ordered 265/30/20 and now OK.

You are rubbing on the fender lip and probably the screws holding the rubber fender liner. Here is something i never thought about too much when i went and ordered new tires. I have TSW 20x10 +40 on a

Excellent post and write-up Rominl!

I just installed my new wheels (the 20 inch Individ Logic with 245/35 in the front and 275/30 in the rears) yesterday and they go on the car easily, however when I hit any bump or undulation in the road the rear outer part of the tires are rubbing on the fender lining.
After reading your write-up, it appears my problem can be easily fixed by heating the lining and pushing it up.
Is my understanding correct?
The fronts rub but only on sharp turns so I may live with that as they don't rub when I hit any bumps.
I also just swapped out the Tein Flex for the Tanabe DF210 springs and KYB GR2 shocks.
