Default 05 ls wheel fitment

How's it going? I'm sure this has been asked before. I just purchased 05 LS, I am lowering it F 1.4 & R1.2. I'm going to be running F 20.9 R 20.10.5. My question is can I get away without rolling the fenders. Offsets are +35 all the way around. They came off of my 00 ls. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Yes you can get away with just rolling. My specs are 20x9 +19 and 20x10 +29 and my fenders are rolled. Clears no problem. Running 225/35 front and 275/30 in the rear.

I would recommend a 235/35/20 tire up front. I tried a 245 with slightly lower offsets and almost tore my front fenders off when I made a turn.

You may need a roll in the rear to fit a 275, depending on the tire brand.

+1 On this. Definitely move to a 235/35 for that front.

Thanks for the help and ideas. Greatly appreciated. I'm running bridge stone sport something. Non directional due to the weight of the car. At this point I'm just gonna roll with it and hope for the best. Are the 430s known for dimples when rolling. Should I shave then roll. Let me know what you think. Oh, tires have 2K on them so gotta make them work.
