Default Rim options

hey guys,
need help or options about my rims. the front is 18x8.5 with a 35 offset and my rear is a 18x10 with a 25 offset. was wondering if I have to roll and/or pull my rear fender. Also should I just wait to lower it and do I need a camber kit. Im not really into the camber look.

wondering if anyone else has done this before.
If you have I would like your option and pictures if you can.
thanks. more picture later

Roll it completely flat and pull it as your doing it. That will give you the clearance without camber kit.

Lower the car first so you know where you stance sit and adjust from there.

FYI, please buy some jacks, I'd hate to see your car fall on the floor...

I'm running 19x10+28 rear with stretch tire and camber kit currently, you will need to roll the fender for sure. If you go lower like no finger gap, the tire will touch the fender; you still can drive just watch out the pothole and drive safely. If you want to go more low you will need to add more negative camber.

Keep in mind, depending on how low you lower the car, it will add some natural negative camber.

Just don't want my car to look stupid when I put them on before I lower and pull and roll it.
