Default Tires need advice

Soo I just bought a set of Lowenhart BR5's they are 20x9 front & back the offsets are 37mm was thinking of running 245/35/20 Falken Fk-452's prolly will roll the fenders just to avoid the hassle of rubbing...do you all think these will be fine? An have you heard anything good on the 452's? Thanks

you prolly won't even rub. my wheels are wider and lower offset and i'm fine with just a little bit of camber, and my wheels are smaller than stock, and i have no fender gap, and my exhaust is 2 inches off the ground. so considering your offset is 37, you shouldn't need any rolling

Falken FK452's have weak sidewalls compared to Continental, Yokos, Dunlops. They bubble up easily if you hit uneven pavement or potholes, especially if you are running neg camber, its even easier to get bubbles.
