Default Wheel and tire question

I am ordering VMR v710 wheels my question is..i want to run a 275 in the rear, if I get a 50 offset rear will I still have to roll the fenders or will it be good. ive searched and found some that didn't have to roll with the 50 offset but did with the 45.

Just roll them or cut them. Not a big deal.

I have 275s with 45offset. Had to cut not sure about 50 offset, but it was not hard to get them cut, and you cant tell unless you look from underneath the car. I say get them and if they don't fit then cut or roll them. Here is pic of mine.

Just spend the 100 bucks to get them cut. Better than not doing it and having the fender lips cut into your brand new tires.

They will need to be rolled at the very least. If the car has stock bushes in the rear, prepare to roll more. Mine were on a 45et for some time and my 275 rubbed until I rolled then trimmed my quarters. I'm now on a 9" wheel and have plenty of room, especially in the rear.
