Default fitment question

im getting the all black xxr 521 size is 18 x 8.5 +35 all around and im on stock springs and struts, but there sagging to a 2 to 2.5 finger gap so i was wondering with 225/40/18 size tires if they will fit without any issues? im very thankful for everyone who posts. thanks

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

What would be a good compettive price to roll fenders? And that's just the fronts right not the rear?

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.
