I think it wpould be better if you provide us with the spec of your wheels first. Who knows, you night not need to do any mods to the fenders/quarter panels... widths/offsets/tires sizes you plan on using....

He is getting my old wheels. Very conservative sizing.

20x8.5, 20x9.5. +45 all around.

I rubbed and I am on 235's in the rear. But then again, I was pretty low.

There shouldn't be any issues as long as the car is not dumped.

Roll ,never cut . Cutting is quick and looks better to passer by's but damages your car . I rolled the crap out of my front and rears and have almost 2 inches up front and an inch and a bit out back until i had them flared and painted.
Leave the ghetto mods alone, don't cut

hobojoe

Lol, yea id like to stay away from permanent mods like cutting.

you realize you can't undue rolling right...

Rolling doesn't damage your car? I prefer cutting because it's much cleaner and you get more clearance. When you roll a fender there are greater chances of cracking paint and warping the fender. And the fender will pull or flare out if you go overboard. To anyone who says it makes the fender weaker, it won't. If something hits your fender and dents it, it wouldn't dented anyway.

Pure I do know that just thinking of which way is much less "modifying" of the car seems to be that cutting is the way to go though.

You don't have to cut all the way to the fender wall. You can cut just enough to clear the wheels. But it's all up to how low you're gonna eventually be.

Haha yea im thinking 3 to 4 4.5 max but who knows!

The body is supported on the tubs around the wheel kind of like this L I-I
. So when you cut the fender liners you remove the support framing for the quarter panels . This can cause buckling as well as an easy point for rust to enter the car.
The L is the quarter wrapped under to the lip it is then spot welded to the tub I-I above the wheel . It is up to the owner if they feel the structural integrity of the car is comprimised or not . I feel it is as it is a support for the panel and the tub.

And see i live in colorado lots of salt on the rds. Snowy Winters and Rainnn, so rust is a big deal.
