You shouldn’t have to roll the front fenders but rears might need a little bit (possibly not, however… depending on tire width)

Alright well my front coils have camber adjustable plates so i might be alright there. and as for the back i hope i can get away without a roll. If i need one where can i rent the tool to get it done or have it done ? Also as for streatched tire i was looking at [1010tires.com](http://1010tires.com) or whatever and they say that a 225 will fit from 7.5-9 inche tires is that true or will it be rediculous. Also i want this all set up for grip just as a side not
