Rolling Fenders?!

ok so i am going to show my lack of knowledge in this area.

i have a friend around here with one of those nice tire rack fender rollers and i am planning on rolling my rear fenders.

i recently got a set of AT Italia Spyder wheels that have a 35mm offset and are 8.4" wide... i am planning on running these with 225's i know that this is a much more aggressive stance then stock but for auto-x (which is what these wheels are for) i think ti will really help.

my question is is rolling the fenders enough or am i going to have to look into wide body fenders? as i stated before i have little knowledge in wheel fitments and i would like some people input. i also know that this will cause increased stress on the bearings and yadda yadda and have taken that all into consideration before buying these wheels.

isn't rolling fenders a really old-school thing?

I mean half of our wheel wells are part of the bumper... which is completely plastic.

Rolling the fenders on the balt is going to be very hard do to the flat surface at the edge of the fender...


Thanks to Cobalt443 for the pic.....

Would I need to roll my fenders if I install airbag suspension and want the lowest possible drop?
