Default Rolling fenders?

Any suggestions on places to roll fenders? I am trying to put 18x10's (275/35zr18) on the rear and 18x8 (245/40/zr18) on the front. The offset is +32, so I'm fairly concerned about it being able to fit etc. I have no idea how you guys all know so much about wheels etc. Backspace, T-dimension and all that stuff, its confusing! I have a stock suspension if that matters. Anybody have any recommendations on where to have this work done?

Really? I hope you're right! I'm not as brave as some of you guys with car modding. Wasn't blessed with coordination . I hope you're right. I'll find out tomorrow when I pick them up and try to get them mounted...

Thanks J:M and JspkSoarer for the help. I looked at the wheel and fitment guide, but after 39 pages, my eyes got a bit sore I was also contemplating putting on eibach lowering springs, but I figured I should make sure it works with stock suspension first.

yeah .. im almost positive it will work stock height. my car is dumped on supra suspension and im going to be riding on 18x10 on the front and 10x11 in the rear with like 295`s streched on the back . if you want to go with something like the 275 in the rear . im sure you`ll have to roll your fender once the car is lowered.

hate to say this, i have the exact size and width wheels with a slightly more conservative offset (+38) and she rubs with stock suspension (93' sc400). it's ok if you're driving alone. but once you put a passenger or hit those bumps on the road, you'll hear those sounds that weren't supposed to come from your fenders. i think you might have to go roll the fenders. doesn't have to be that drastic, a mild roll that will tuck in the wheels nice might not even be visible to onlookers

295's will not look stretched on an 11. Call One Ton Garage and talk to Van. He did my fenders and he did an excellent job.

I checked One Ton Garage's website, no contact number though. Hope it'll work with the stock suspension for now.

yeah . im pretty sure they do.. it also depends on what kind of sidewall you get for the tire.

295's will not look stretched at all on a 11" wide wheel regardless of sidewall profile you get.
