Perfect sizing as long as you got wheels with a high enough offset.

Fenders not rolled and I'm lowered

When fenders are rolled how do you keep the splash guard up, isnt there clips that hold it up to the fender?

Might as well do all the fenders. Think of the future.

The front liners are held in by a ton of clips and you only have to trim a very small amount of the liner.

You must roll the fronts with the wheel specs you have. They will rub through the liner and grab the fender. I cannot stress this more. If you want to avoid damaging your fenders get them rolled before you out the wheels on.

I already have 7.5s on the front and only rub when i hit dips in the road. i may roll slightly even though i really didnt want to touch the fronts
