Rob, did the fenders *need* rolling, or did you roll them as a
preventative measure? I know you didn't get any street time with the new tires before rolling your fenders, but what does your good sense tell you about the need for fender rolling in your case?

My good sense told me...
I was right on the edge of maybe/maybe not. I have a buddy with 12v 2.8 with the same suspension. He was running Ronal 18x8.5 with 235 and his car orginally rubbed like crazy. He switched to 225 and it was OK.
Now something else comes into play, my wheels aren't the same as his were, I'm note sure of his offest. Also, I have upgraded brakes. I believe the hat of my rotor is thinner than the stock cast rotor, so that also moves the wheel in a couple MM. I did as a precautionary because of what I saw on his car.
