Question Will I need to roll the fenders?

I'm ordering a set of custom wheels. There only going to be 10" wide in the rear, and I'll be running 295 Vredestein Sessentas.

I want them to come out flush with the fender for the best look.

Will this require me to roll the fenders? I don't know exactly whats involved with getting new wheels. I'm lowered 1" on BMR springs if this makes a difference.

depends on the offset. you may be fine with just beating the inner fender well like a redheaded stepchild.

Well, the wheels are being made to come out to the fenders. 10" wheels shouldn't fill the wheel well. I have an adj Panhard bar.

why's it always have to be a redheaded stepchild?

295 is a good size if you get the perfect offset +50 you should be fine. But if you want to pull it to the edges then yes you will need to roll them.

Being lowered is also a factor in needing them roller cause you are that much closer to the lip when you turn and hit a bump.

If you need a roller I got one for rent.

Thanks, I might need it. I guess I won't know until the tires are here.

I really don't know what I'm going to need because the wheels are custom. I told them to bring the tires out to the edge of the fenders. Maybe I should just tell them to have them tuck maybe 1/2 inch?
