f20kills: That made me feel a ton better about my purchase haha.
Do you have any pics of how much the roll/flare is in the front and rear? I can't wait for these damn wheels to get here.

The fronts are just your typical roll flare (probably 10mm pull) that everyone does.
Easy to do with a fender roller and a nice touch
Im wondering now if its better to run a 245/40 on my 17X10 +45's than a 255/40? I keep going back and forth haha.

Well, a 245 is very small for 10inch wide. it can be done but its not ideal.
I shoudld mention the rear only requires a roll to fit these 17x10+45. You shouldnt need to pull/flare the rears to fit these...just a roll.

17x10 +45 will fit easier than a 17x9 +38. It's all about the tire and now your tire will be moved 7mm inward. Sure when you add some stretch it will come out a bit but I still think you'll be better off. Is the car slammed?

DF fenders will do the same since the fender comes "in" and meets the bumper like stock fenders. If you attempt to go up a driveway with your wheel fully turned...get ready for your tire to grab and pull the fender

i'm not talking about turning. slight turn or going up a bump where one of your wheels get pushed up to the fenders. the downforce fenders is a night and day difference than the oem.

Yeah, I need something that will have some give, unfortunately I feel like DownForce fenders a 255 on a 10 and my driveway will equal a big hole in my wallet...im just tryin to figure out now a local shop that can do similar work to what PHarrel has.
F20 did you do the roll yourself? In some pics I see oem fenders with are metal, and aggressive pull, and your vid looks like its a mild pull and roll on oem fenders. Basically is it possible to fit these with out having a shop do your fenders?

I misunderstood, but owning both DF and stock fenders, the DF just widens the fender 30mm. The wheel/tire can hit the top of the fender (mine would rub) just as easy with the DF as it would the stock.

If youre looking in my album, I have 3 fenders. DF, flared OEM and rolled/slight pulled OEM. Anyone with fender rolling experience can do it or if youre patient, you can do it yourself. Most people in my area do it for $50....I had a friend do it for $30
It wont be perfect and if rushed can look "wavey", but I wasnt worried about looks too much.
