    I got a deal on a set of 18x8 Rota wheels with a 48 offset for my GC. Will they fit without issues? Can I do it without rolling the fenders?

    I have 17/7.5 and they'll rub going over bumps so I would imagine 18's may be a bit too big. If you got them already try them and see what kind of clearance you have

    fyi I have sti stock springs/shocks so I may be a bit lower*

    What size tires you have will impact this as well. I have 17/7.5 with 225/45 tires on my gc and I rolled all 4 fenders with stock suspension

    suspension will make a big difference, and they will probably need to be rolled at the minimum and likely pulled.

    Well I will need to buy new tires as the ones that are on are 245. I don't think those will fit, but I could do new tires. I was just curious if anyone has done an 18, and how it fit, and how much rolling/pulling had to be done.
