I have a wagon(stock suspension), and I'm looking to run 225/45/r17 falken rt-615's on some 17x7.5'' e48 rims. I understand that I'll need to roll my fenders to make them fit, but I had a couple of newbish questions.

First, do I need to roll all 4 fenders or just the rears?

Second, should i be concerned about rubbing on the interior side as well?

Thanks in advance for your help

if you're on stock suspension and staying that way, you don't need to roll your fenders. i've driven a stock suspended 02 wagon, with 255 615's and 8.5" rims(temp setup)......and they only rubbed a few times. this same wagon, runs 225 615's on sti wheels with zero rubbing. no rolled fenders.

It won't rub even under heavy loads or hard cornering?

not in my experiences, with stock suspension.

You can rub with 225 on +48 wheel, even with stock suspension. I've been in the car when it happened.
Rolling the rear fenders will give you the clearance you need. Going to a +53 offset is even a better way to fix it.

with stock suspension you would prolly be able to get away with just taking off the black molding and giving it a tad more - camber not alot like -.2 or -.3. granted a set of bolts and an alignment will cost as much as getting fenders rolled but if you dont want to roll for some reason then theres an alternative.

Sounds like getting the rear fenders rolled is my best bet.
Just to double check, I won't have to worry about the tire rubbing on the interior, just the exterior, correct?

Buy mine, roll your fenders, do a couple of other peoples cars for cheap then sell it when you are finished. :devil:
