You are right, i'm not in the US.

I'm in Brunei, a country in Borneo island. We have less than 35 GS2 in the country, and only 3 Aristos.

I was thinking, with the pulled fenders; i could possibly fit a 285/35/18 tire in it right? i wouldn't want to drop the rear anymore bc i'm really driving with a peace of mind even if it looks a bit rice now

BTW, "rice" would be drop rubbing tire, bouncing all over the place because you chopped your springs. You car is cool where it is.
You could also go a size up in the front. 225/ or 235/45/18 and rear 255/ or 265/40/18 to help fill the gap and will be more rounded side wall to prevent rubbing. I think the 285 will still cause rubbing. I suggest this because wheel gaps are my enemy

Maybe I missed it... have you driven the car since the fenders were rolled?

The reason I ask is that if the car was jacked-up and you just let it down
off the jack, the suspension has not settled. The car will need to be moved
to get the suspension to settle back to normal.

When I installed my wheels, I let the car down off the jack for the first time
and the rear wheels actually stuck out past the fender almost 1/2"
Once I rolled it forward and back, they tucked right in.

This is due to the camber change when the suspension is at full droop and
the weight of the car alone is not enough to settle the suspension entirely.

Rolling the fenders should not affect the tire/fender gap whatsoever.

Strictly rolling fenders should not affect the gap. The inside part of the fender lip is bent in. The outer part is not really affected unless you also flare the fenders. It really does not look like that here.

1. The gap is slightly larger because the black trim is removed.
2. The angles of the 2 comparison pictures are different. The "after" picture is looking up into the wheel well, giving the illusion of a bigger gap.
3. How long after the work was the picture taken? Did the suspension have time to settle?
4. You do need to drop it a little more.

Depending on what was used to roll the fender, it will pull outwards as well as upwards. Atleast that was my case for the front. I have not rolled my rear yet, only shaved, but will soon be pulling that out some.

Well, if I wanted to just roll my fenders for clearance, I would not want this side-effect (unless I specifically asked for it. ). If things are pulled out and I did not plan for it, it would mess up all the offset calculations and that would mean new wheels.

What are fender flares?

does the following pics have any of those?

Before rolled
yes it does rub on dips at 120km/h and above


After rolled


no more rubbing whatsoever except looks weird?
