ROTA D2 Wheels and tires coming!
Hey guys I finally got my Rota d2's ! Now im just waiting on tires! The question I had was I recently ordered tires: 245/40/18 Front and 275/35/18 rear. Im currently running tein s-techs and was wondering if i would have to role the fenders?, I plan to anyways but just wanted to make sure. 
Would I just need the back rolled or both front and back rolled? My friend has the same wheels except his tires are 225/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. He is on neuspeed springs and had only the rear rolled. Also if anyone has pics with 275/35/18 rear that would be great!
All help is appreciated.
Specs
18x8 5x114.3+48mm (Front 2 Wheels)
18x9 5x114.3+50mm (Rear 2 Wheels)

275-35-18 is too wide for a 9 inch wheel, itsn't it? I think you are going to have clearance issues with that setup, especially after lowering it. You don't automatically put super wide tires on your wheels just because you can. I actually think your fronts are too wide. I would have considered something else.
For example, I use 225-40-18 on a 8 inch wheel with +50 offset. On the rear, I use a 265-35-18 on a 9.5 inch wheel with +55 offset. Even with this setup, I had to modify my rear fenders to make sure the fitment was good. This was at stock height. Lowering it 1 inch was another issue.

I agree....a 275 on a 9" wheel is going to have about the same contact patch as a 265 would.....you're putting a huge tire up front and you're probably going to have more oversteer issues.....
