If the front wheels are 18x9.5 ET38 with 245 tyres, would they rub? Would a simple roll fix it or do I need to shave them? Lowered on coilovers.

They'd rub for sure. Roll your fenders flat, i don't think a pull is necessary.

I have 18x9.5"+12 - 235/40 up front and would like to install the 25mm Vertex Aero Front Fenders. Are my wheels going to be sunken by a lot? I'm currently pretty flush with a roll and rubber mallet pull.

If you want deep lips all around, then I wouldn't recommend the LS400 brakes. You'll lose at least 1/2" of lip by running the LS400 brakes. Run some aggressive brake pads in the stock SC calipers if you want more performance.

I'm guessing it'll be sunken in by about 20mm or 25/32" with your current setup. You could compensate for this by running a larger tire in the front or a spacer.

I hate spacers, it's the reason why I got low offset wheels in the first place. What if I ran a 18x10.5" +22? My fronts have some curb'age and clearcoat issues anyways, so I wouldn't mind ditching them. I guess I'd need to think about what tire size would work best though. I have 18"x10.5" +15 in the rear right now with a 265/35.

A 18x10.5 +22 would only stick out 3 mm more than your current wheels, so still sunken. It looks like you have varrstoen ES1 wheels, so if I were you I would test fit the rear wheels in the front with vertex fenders. If it looks good, then I would get 18x10.5 +15 with 265/35/18 tires all around, so I could rotate. The wheels will still be a little sunken in, but it should still look good as long as your car isn't completely slammed.

I'm pretty much done with these wheels. I'd like to get a custom set of 3-piece wheels next year, and would like my measurements to be as accurate as possible. Why can't they make aftermarket fenders with the cool air slot at a reasonable measurement, blah /rant
