Default don't want to roll the lip

what's the biggest rim/tire combo (17" or 18"), and what offset, can you put on a camaro without rolling the fender???? and what other mods do you have to do besides BFH mod. i don't want to settle for a 9.5" rim if i can go bigger. might as well do it right the first time.. thanks in advance

Why not roll it? If done correctly no one can tell but you.

No. It merely takes the flat edge and rolls it up and under.

It depends on the offset of the wheel if you going to have to roll the fenders.

When I rolled my fenders it didn't hurt the integrity of the fender. It just has to be done correctly. I used the eastwood fender roller

I have 11's on the back with a 7.93" backspace, Nitto 315's which run narrow and, lowered with BMR springs. Didn't roll or pound a thing. But, I did have to trim the bumpstops slightly. No biggie though.
