You did it again... I never said you have to roll or pull anything. They can fit and look nice without rolling or pulling. Rolling or pulling is only used if you are off by too much, some like the look, some don't, some get flares, some don't. I havent said go super low, or negative offset, I have said choose the right offset for it to be flush. You can be flush at 4 degrees of camber, 1 degree of camber or at 20 degrees positive. Figure out your camber, then figure out the offset. I don't let my wheels choose my cars alignmet, if the need be I'll add spacers or roll the fender (don't know why you are anti rolling, it does nothing but bend a useless lip in the body). The ride height has nothing to do with offsets either, just how your car sits with wheels.

I have my PS and don't ever plan on getting rid of it, car steers faster than I need it to.

+43 is definitely on the high side, I'll say that. the rears he got are good though.

you never mentioned fender mods, but Maeda did. apologies.

My beef with rolling is that it increases the risk of the fender rusting (unless it's done before paint), and in our cars in the front there's that wiring harness to deal with. It's not a major beef. I just don't think it's really necessary.

Hey where did I mention fender work either smart guy? Looks like you can't read or pick a decent offset.
I said go LOWER, I DID NOT SAY 'go single digit retardedly low' or even 'negative low offset' nor did I mention any 'fender work' (cool in my book but maybe not others). I said get the PROPER offset. Go back to page one. It's still there. +30 is not a proper offset for 18 inches of wheel.

You can roll the fenders without destroying the paint with a heatgun.
Relocate the wiring harness to shield it from the elements as well as the tires.
Anything else you need to know?

Rolling the fenders won't cause rust. If it is rolled and a piece of metal is torn or broken, that part will get oxidated and begin to rust. If done properly and there are no surface imperfections (cuts, tears, uneccesary bends, etc.) the modified fender will not rust at all...

I just cut ur slice of beef...
