even if you do have to roll the fenders trust me its not that big of a hassle and its well worth it to keep the set up you have! It varys from car to car, but i think you will need to roll em and maybe do some BFH with the sportlines

I have cut DMS springs and ran that size, it would only rub when I hit big bumps, but then again my shocks feel a little weak too.

I run that size with sportlines, a little BFH mod on the front portion of the inner fender and they fit perfect with no rubbing

I believe the front has more room than the rear...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

fronts might have more room, but it needs more room because the fronts actually TURN lol I think you could do 285 in the front easily. **** there are guys out there road racing with 17" wheels and 315 tires in the front but im not sure what mods or how much massaging has to be done...For example my 275 tires on my 17x9.5 wheels are nice and get as close as stock (17x9-275) But when i had 19x8.5 on the front with a 265/35/19 tire, it got real close but it was definitely do-able! good luck either way

I'm pretty sure they fit without any modifications.
