To those with Rota Grids

I have read a couple threads on people who have them but havent found really anything on rubbing issues.
So just asking all you guys who have grids on your X what tire size are you running and did you have to roll your fenders?
Thanks and sorry if this has already been discussed I searched but came up with very little.
I just pre-ordered my set of grids in yamaha black. Cant wait for these

I have Grids on my WW EVO X. I have Falken 452's 265/35/18. No rubbing at all. Lowered on Works springs with no rub.

Did not roll or pull the fenders.

thats what rota does. Copies other design and sells them at a fraction of the cost of the real stuff.

But their "copy" as you say is superior in style and design. No where near the same concave.
