That willl rub for sure. So either cut or roll your fenders before installing them.

i think your looking at the same rims i am. the widetracks? i was told many times that the rear would fit fine with cut or rollled fenders, it wont stick out, but it will be aggressivly flush.

They will definately fit with a mild roll. Just get a Louisville slugger and buy those wheels.

amen. that fitment is aggressively flush and will be unable to fit a meaty tire as a result, but it can certainly work with a roll of the fender.

ps. a heat gun in conjunction with the fender roller is the perfect combination to ensure paint is undamaged.

You'll definitely need the guards at least rolled if not shaved. Be careful with your tyre selection as well. I'm hoping I can get away with 19x9.5" on a +29mm offset (265/30 tyres... not looking for a big stretch) up back with just a roll.

Yeah it should BUT I don't think you'll be able to get away with a simple guard roll on those size tyres.

Dont cut your fenders unless u know how to weld......its not a good idea...just a good way to ruin a car if not done correctly.

rent or buy a fender roller. Its the easiest way but by no means is it fool proof. check the other threads here on rolling vs cutting.

Id suggest other methods but youd prolly mess up your quarter panels if you have questions at this stage.

If you don't have the proper tools just get it done professionally. Just make sure to watch them like a hawk (I know I'll be).
