I think rolling fender is a great thing to do for safety. Cause fender as stock are cutting like a knife. If you rub your tire hardly on it, you can blow it easily and have an accident.

Rubbing is the issue that I was debating with my 17x7 wheels at +40mm offset and 215/40 tires.

Good idea... U can always lay something in the engine bay to make sure that none of the electronics under the hood gets wet.

Most shops will use a fender roller (bolts onto the rotor) for around $20 a corner... if you want to do it right, and not risk fukin up the paint! |

215-40-R17 not a good tire size.
Tire will stick out beyond the rim (as viewing from the sidewall). Best to go with 205-40-R17.
