I ran a 235/40/18 on the front of my FD without having to roll the arches. But they did rub on the inside plastics when on full lock.

the offset, what tyres your going to run and how low the vehicle will be, will effect the need for rolling, can you give us anymore info?

the wheel are rota gtr D\'s offset will be 12 or 25 but I think front is a no go really without rolling the arches

if you want it too look good you\'ll definitely need them rolled!
