    Looking to buy some Rota Grids for my summer set up on my 06 wrx, they are 18x8.5 I've heard they will fit and be ok but depending on the tire size i may need my fenders rolled. first of all whats the difference in tire sized (pros and cons) and what sizes will i need to roll my fenders, and is it worth is to go with a size where ill need to roll them and then whats it usually cost to pay someone to roll them, right now i don't have any suspension modds and that is my second question just looking to lower it and with lowering springs is this also going to make a difference and if so will all springs make is so i require rolling my fenders? thanks the more info the better, never installed such wide wheels on my car and don't wanna run into unexpected problems, thanks for the help.

    Sedan or Wagon?

    I've got an '07 wagon and run a set of 17 x 7.5 bbs in the summer. With Stock struts and tein h-tech springs i've rubbed only a couple times in the rear. My fenders have never been rolled or pulled.
