Yes, you will need to be rolled flat and have a slight pull.
I'm on 18x9/10 but +40 on the fronts and rears. I'm rolled in the front and shaved clean in the rear. The fronts rub a tiny bit when I turn, and I rub just a tiiiiiny bit in the rear when I hit big dips.

Shaving will separate the inner fender and the outer skin... so unless you plan on doing something about that, then just roll.
