Default 18 X 8.5 +48 offset, roll fenders???

I am getting some rims pretty soon, size is 18 X 8.5 +48 offset w/ nitto NT-555, 235 40ZR 18 all corners on Tein SS PillowBall Mount, right now there's 1 inch space in the front (between tires and fender), and little less than 3/4" space in the back. Just wonder if theres gonna to be rubbing issues, or do I need to roll fenders? I check the size chart, it saids (tuck in) for that wheel size and setting. Just wanna make sure so I can pre-roll fenders(if necessary) before the wheels arrive. Wheels will arrive 1st week of August from Japan. If anyone has a similar set up.....that will be helpful to me and I am much appreciate it. thanks.

oh yes, with that setup..i would recommend getting them rolled, it never hurt to do it. but with 18x8.5 and a 48mm offset..those things will rub hard (on bug bumps) if you dont get em rolled.

actually I already check with my vendor, and tirerack, the bigger the offset number, the more is gonna to tuck in, so I dont even have to worry plus I got coilovers so that will take care of the problem

you're probably not gona have to roll, but it depends a lot on what tire size you're gona go with. 215 or 225 with a 40 sidewall, i highly doubt you'll need to roll. anything bigger, probably. your wheel itself will only stick out an extra 16mm which isn't really too much.
p.s. if you're actually on tein coils with wheel gap, i take back everything i just said. you def won't rub.
