Default Tire Clearance Required

I mounted some 275/40/18's on 18" x 9.5" +46mm wheels. How much rolling of the fender lip is required. I am just wondering if anyone has experience with this combination front and rear on a 1993 Trans Am?

This car is going to see a max of 2000 miles on the street per year so it will be far from a daily driver.

You either roll them all the way or not at all. Shouldn't need it....but they are tall.

Load the trunk area down with a bunch of weight until you on the bumpstops then take a good look. If it's close or touching on one side then adjust you PHB, if you have a adj PHB. Otherwise you'll need roll the fender lips, or buy an adj. PHB, or both.
