Have had these on for a week now, really hyped:
ZITO FlowForme ZF02 in Gloss Gunmetal
19x9 et25
19x10 et35
245/35/19 + 275/30/19 Federal 595 (SS)
Front and rear fenders have been rolled with a slight pull.
Serious rubbing on the front fender liner at my ride height (low) but manageable when some trimming is done.
I'll be going with the 19x11 on the rear and put the 10 et35 on the front when they get them in.

She still functions quite well. Put the car through the ringer few weeks back. Consecutive triple digit speeds for two hours over the pass and felt solid the entire time. Doesn’t rub and is my daily so handles the A to B and everything in between just great.
I like to balance function and form, but generally favor function. This being a daily I don’t mind sacrificing some performance so she looks good parked at work haha.

I hope this doesn’t make everyone mad; but....
In a moist environment, rolled fenders / quarters will rust. I have seen it numerous times in Indiana. Even the best rollers cannot see the inside of the lip, which has high chances of paint cracking. Rolled lips are also a place for moisture to be trapped. This is why I would never buy a car with rolled fenders / quarters nor would I roll them (I did on one previous car and regretted it after). Just buy wheels that fit if you live in a moist environment. This is why I run 40 offsets.
it is easy to replace rusty fenders, but not quarters. Even if you replace quarters, they have higher chances of rusting again because the replacement panels aren’t zinc coated and the weld seams cannot be zinc coated.
Shaving is safer if you re-apply paint correctly. If the metal is protected shaving is fine.
I know that everyone loves the rolled look with low offsets, but vehicle longevity is compromised when it comes to the body of the car unless you live somewhere like Arizona. California may be ok. But if you are in the rust belt, you better garage a rolled vehicle during winter and hope for the best. If anyone has daily driven a rolled car with moisture for 10 years and seen differently, please chime in.
