Alright so it's about time for me to get some new tires since my 225s are going to be too beefy when I get my coils soon. Rims are 18x8.75 +35, going to get a 25mm and 15mm spacer probably for the time being. I want to run a 205/40 Nankang NS2 tire except they don't come in that size. They do, however, come in a 215/40 or a 205/35. So my question is, would you suggest the 215/40 or the 205/35? Or any other brand suggestions that come in 205/40 that aren't too expensive?

205/35 will look retarted. Run 215/40. And you're aware of the fenderwork required to fit them with the spacer sizes you mentioned right?

Fender rollers. Where do you guys rent them from? Is it Eastwood or nothing? And is a heatgun all you need to keep paint from spiderwebbing, etc?

Pretty nervous to do it myself…

My friend rolls/pulls fenders with a wooden broom handle and a heat gun, they come out flawless too. All you have to do is make sure you use the heat gun and take your time.

Chris, I will emphasize this heavily. Make sure that there are NO pebbles, rocks, or debris on or behind the fender lip BEFORE you start rolling them. Otherwise you'll get ripples that will be in there forever. Clean that area thoroughly!

Picked up some 18 inch zenetti's

18 x 8.5

Dont know the offset (I know how important that is)

If I go with 235 35 r18 on stock suspension no rolled fenders will this work?
