Hmmm, at 255 that's pretty wide. Maybe very little of a fender roll? I am not sure but that is pretty wide.

At a 9.5 width and an ET20 offset I don't think there's any way that will fit no matter what you do.

Dam dude.that is WAY too aggressive.Im pushing 18x8 with 30mm offset.and i rub in the rear(mainly right side).when I hit big dips or bumps @ high speeds with no cargo/passengers or slow speeds WITH cargo...Ive asked around and NOBODYrecommends rolling or cutting fenders.Its just the inner lip that rubs on theshoulder of the tire. it hurts ME everytime i hear it

roll the fender. the paint wont cheap. im on 255/35/20 and the shop rolled the fender no rubbing what so ever. its worth every penny. Its really really agressive fyi. But the car will stand out. My wheels are staggered then again yours are not . If you do make sure they roll it or your gonna be crying when you hear it rub lol

How much $$ did they charge you?? Did they use an actual tool for rolling fenders?I really want to do that, but i was scared ofcracking my paint and one shop wanted tocharge me a n*t!!! But its only on the right side(mainly)Why do you guys think this is?I checked my alignment and everything!

The guy that did my whole staggered wheel setup charged me 50 bucks. Its a great price. It wont crack the paint. Just make sure you take it to a shop that knows what there are doing. I had mine done at Inland Wheel Center in Inland Empire in Cali kinda far were your from
