the front will rub a little even after rolling. get a mallet and a piece of wood and start rolling the front.

thats how i rolled my fronts. tires still rub, but i'm running 19x8.5 with 38 offset, with 235/35 tires. if u get 225/40 u should barely rub.

I'm running 18x8.5 on all four with a high +42 offset. I'm lowered 1.8" in the front, 1.5" in the back. I rolled the rears but they still rub if you straddle curbs and speedbumps but not during normal driving or cornering. The fronts never rub. Oh, forget about putting more than 50lbs in the trunk.

it all depends on if you want to run camber or tire stretch. i run nothing but aggressive offsets and widths with my suspension slammed and dont rub.

Do you have a roller?

I know some people in the South Bay who have a fender roller.

We should do a mini photoshoot when you get your CL together.

I'm in San Francisco.
