Sick setup man. I am about to repaint my car lambo black and get the gloss black Grids 18x9.5 +20 w/ 245/40 tires. Are your fenders rolled or stretched in those pics? Springs or coils?

Mikey all you need is to pull the fenders a little in the rear.

I assume I'll just have roll the fronts too. I can handle a slight pull in the rear.

+1 on not having to touch the fronts. It'll fit fine. I ran my first set of grids withOUT spacers. It was a nut hair close to the brakes. The last set I had i ran a 2 or 3mm spacer (Can't remember) and it was perfect.

Thanks

I got the same question.
I'm running p45r's... 18x9.5 e20 with 255/35 and they rub stock height in the RR.
Hoping that rolling my fenders and getting the alignment back in check I'll clear no issues.

Ok guys, someone please help me out. I am looking to run some Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +20. I have an ix MR and am on a stock suspension set up. Im planning on 245/40/18 Star Specs.

Exactly what am I gonna have to do to properly fit these wheels? Someone has told me I'd have to roll all 4 fenders, but now im reading that the rolling the front isnt necessary? I'm also reading that the rears have to be pulled? How about camber adjustment? I'd really appreciate some help. Hopefully someone who has run this set up on stock suspension can chime in. Thanks!

Let me ask you a question. Can your +20's do what is in the picture below?
Keep in mind, that picture is showing the rear strut removed & the sway bar disconnected.
If you dont have that type of clearance, then the +20's really dont truly fit
