Default Getting ready for wheels, question about rolling fenders.

I am going to be ordering a set of Axis OG-Sans in gold for my PW 06 xB. The car is currently lowered on Tein S-Tech's. I do not want to have to roll the rear fenders and I am not a big fan of the stretched look. Will I have to do any other modifications to make these wheels fit and to make them somewhat flush?

Lowered on S-Tech's
15x7 Axis OG-San
+35mm offset
205/55/15 tires
+10mm OTG rear shims
+5mm front spacer for brakes

Does anyone have any input on this setup? Sorry for being such a freakin NOOB, but I want to get it right the first time.

Thanks!

Joe

you wont rub, but you wont sit flush. Anything that sits flush will rub. That is according to my definition of flush which means that if you dropped a yardstick down the side of your fender, the edge of the rim should be within 2mm or less of touching it. This would mean rubbing if you didnt roll your fenders.

Will it look better with the OTG spacers on your car than without? Definitely. Its not going to look that much more "flush" than stock though...
