you should be able to run 225/40. running 225/35 would provide more clearance tho. 1is fenders are farely week un modified.

You can not really roll the front fenders theres nothing really to roll its more of a pull in the front. The rears are what needs to be rolled flat theres a lip on the rear if you go look at it and feel it you will see. Typical rolls around Dallas are 50 a corner.
