front fender pulled/rolled rpf1 wheels 275/35/18

Here are some pictures from this weekend.
Pulling/rolling front fenders was pretty scary cause it is aluminum but it worked out pretty well. Still working on it. Still needs a alignment.
Rolling did not go so well, just ended up pulling them more then anything


wheel and tire specs
Wheels are rpf1 18x9.5 Tires are Toyo r888 tires 275/35/18

Hard to tell from the pics but did any of the paint crack? Looks mean though!

Why did you feel the need to do this? 18x9.5 +15 with 275's fits just fine. Hell im running 18x9.5 +15 with a 5mm spacer and some beefy 265's and I have 0 issues

how high is your car sitting ? that is why i did it cause to get the look i was after and the function i am after i knew i would need to do this.
and because no one else has posted anything at all about touching the front fenders so i wanted to see if i could do it without paint cracking.

everyone i talked to said aluminum fenders suck so much so i wanted to prove them wrong with not only doing this but also in the look and performance

Setup looks good if you would have just got a higher offset then no need to roll fenders

Well,

He hasn't listed the offset yet, but I highly doubt any work on the front fenders was necessary. Running 275/35 tires usually will rub slightly on the inner fender liners, but doesn't scrap the fenders themselves.

Seems more he did it just to do it? Maybe in anticipation it would rub without asking on the forums or testing it. Either way, it's not an issue.

Looks good to me though, and if he's happy with it then props to him!

what's your setup going to be? I'm running 18x10.5+15 w/ 275/35/18 tires and no rubbing issue whatsoever with fronts. I had the rears rolled though. No hate, just curious!
