You're going to have to pull. Keep in mind pull != flare, there is a difference. If you want be as aggressive as you can without pulling, 9 +45 all around is a better choice.

How bout 9.5 +38 in the rear only? is pulling required?
If you left ~2 finger gap, -4 or more camber, 235 tire, I'm sure you could still make it work on just a roll, no pull. I'm more speaking from my current position of 0 gap, no tire tuck w/ 255's, and I'm pretty aggressively pulled (about as far as I can go without buckling QP) and -4 camber.

I think ppl get scared when someone says "pull" the fenders. All you're really doing when rolling is just getting them to flare out a super small amount by having the rolling tool push the fender out some, rather than merely rolling the lip down underneath. If I have time today between calls I'll run down and take a close up picture of how it looks on mine.
Again, to reiterate. The toughest part is the exact spot where the bumper meets the rear fender. That one spot is super thick, 2 layers of metal, and it doesn't like to move a whole lot without risking buckling the QP. You can actually pull the rear fender, and that one spot will stay in stock location.

i dont think im going to have to pull mine honestly, i cut my rear fenders, relocated the bumper tab, and trimmed all the insides where the bumper meets the fender...but we will see! im getting them mounted in a few hours

got yah.... so 17 x 9 plus 35 is 3mm more aggressive or 17 x 9 plus 45 and 17 x9 plus 35 the plus 35 should me 10mm more aggressive if im not mistaken? scratching my head? or in other words a 17 x 9 plus 45 in front and 35 in rear should look great... but id rather get a 9.5 rear plus 38
