Enkei RZ-5 18X8.5 +24 front and 18X9.5 +25 rear... Will they look good and will I have to roll any?

Should look good and no roll depending on tire choice and if car is lowered or not.

just roll your fenders. I dont know why people are soo opposed for doing so... take a hammer at it if you need to, lol.

and yeah, like Brandon said... it depends on tire size..

The main reasons I do not want to roll is because I just had my car painted and I'm scared it's goingto crack and I don't know who to trust to doit. Most everyone says they are good at it, but are they really??? I've also heard that it is better to cut the lips rather than roll them, is that true?

The tire sizes are 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

use a heat gun when rolling... it softens the paint so that it wont crack. You can try doing it yourself... its really not that hard. And no, cutting isn't better, but it is preferred if you put widebody fenders or flares.

and with those tire sizes... yes... you'll need to roll
