Default Sorry, another wheel fitment thread

Need new shoes and in order to stay legal, need to have them checked out by the DMV. The way they do it is they go over a big speed bump at 60mph to see if the wheel touches anywhere.

The wheels I'm looking at are 18x9 et35 or 18x9.5 et38. I realize that this is a pretty conservative setup for CL standards, but I'm still unsure if I could get away with that and pass the speed bump test without rolling fenders. I'm on Supra shocks and springs btw.

Oh and yes, I read much of the wheel fitment guide. Just not sure how many of you test their setups like I have to

You won't need to roll fenders with those offsets, there are plenty of posts on original"Wheel fittment thread", in your case you will need to remove your fender lining and reroute some wiring.
Some ****ed up laws
