don't think you will find many without rolled fenders unless they are running stretched tires, that are sized smaller than usual so it wont rub.. i am dropped on 18's and i had to get mine rolled because i have a half a finger gap in the rear... but then again, im lowered on espelirs, so im not sure about the other ppl out there that are only dropped .5" - 1.0"

^your SSRs are so sick man. Good taste. I"m droped on H-tech springs, which give a little less than a half an inch. drop and I had to roll my rear fenders. They rubbed bad! My wheels are a low offset though, +43 in the rear and 8.5" wide.
if you don't want to run into rubbing issues, just get safe offset 17" wheels.

espelir springs w/stock shocks
18x8 +56 front, 18x9.5 +62 rear
Falken Ziex 512's 225/40 and 255/35 <--they are for sale btw
you can prolly go 265 with the ziex's and still not rub
cuz of the rounded sidewalls

Its all about the offset. And alignment. Many people run 18's without having to modify the fender or rub.
If you go into the wheel and tire forum there is a guide there thats tells what offset with what tires work.

On my old setup with my RoJa formula 5's I didn't need to roll my fenders since they were pretty conservative with 18x7's in the front and 18x8's in the rear with 225/40 and 255/35's. My SP1's were a different story with my steep ass driveway.
