That is close to what I'm running in terms of offset. My front tire size is 225/35/19. I have the tire right at the fender well with my tein flex which is why they do camber nicely. Also, I've shaved the fender wells for extra clearance.

ps The front you can get away with rolling but the rear would be easier to shave because its much thicker sheet metal.

Was it hard to roll the fenders in the front? I'm worried about the paint cracking. How did you shave the rears? Did you do it yourself?

Well, I was disappointed to find out it could be done afterwards. But moreless, I'm happy shaving all four fenders instead of any rolling. If you shave your fronts then you won't be able to retain your fender liners.

Just leave it at the end of the driveway and let the trashman pick it up, you don't want to have trash laying around the house
