Hmm.. so I was thinking about going with 18x8 or 18x8.5 after I put coilovers on it. You're saying you have to roll the fenders for this size? Does it rub alot or just a little on harsh bumps/turns?

to make sure u dont mess up the paint..pull the wheels and go to the lip ur gonna bend b4 u do it and score a line in it mid-way in with a razor blade...then use something wooden..i used a little basseball bat with the wheels on and the tire as leverage...but the paint will chip no matter what u do..but if u score it like i dsaid the chips stop there and wont continue out any farther so ull never see em...but id go back and put touch up where it does inside to avoid rust

With 8.5" wide wheels, and if the car is really slammed, you will have to roll them. If you do it right the paint will not crack or chip.
