YES another xxr527 question

Ordered XXR 527
Specs
Front 18x8.75 et 20
Rear 18x9.75 et 20

I plan on running 225/40/18 falken 512 tires. I am not worried about the back I will get my rear fenders rolled and i have a rear camber kit so if needed I can adjust the camber to fix it.

MAIN QUESTION IS CONCERNING THE FRONTS lol
should i go for a 215 tire instead. Do I HAVE to roll my fronts. Theres like barely anything to roll. I checked out the diy and made my friend who owns a shop purchase the eastwood fender roller. We will roll the backs but I am worried about the fronts. Also I want to maintain a TWO INCH DROP on my coilovers.

Someone please put me in the right direction on what I need to do to get the fronts to fit. I talked to TL dude he had a shop cut some of the fender and also a pull but I do not know any place near central jersey to do that kind of work for me....

Yes a pull might be needed. Mine is low and still rubs the fender sometime but it is not eating the tires like before. I think a 215 tire should do the trick tho.

wait.. is a 2 inch drop going to give you a gap just enough to slide your finger in?

with the aggressive offset and width i went with it should barely allow me to have a slanted finger slide through

Im currently on tein basic coilovers with them maxxed out about half inch from bottom. I have front fenders rolled on 18x9 +20 offset running a 225 and i never rub. I'm also running a 18x10.5 +25 rear on a 235 rear and will once in a blue moon rub. You aren't that aggressive, you should be fine. With that being said, do you have any pics? I was thinking about picking up a set of these wheels for my winter setup. Thanks
