Camber, ride height and tire size will all make a big difference in having to roll the arches or not. How low are you going to go and I'm guessing you plan on stretching the tires?

Most if not all low offset wheels will need at least a lips on the archs rolled.

Sorry to thread jack but on the subject of rolling fenders and what not I was wondering if you have do away with your fender wells/splash guards when you do this.

im assuming you wanting to do the front?

id cut out the area of the splash guard where the tire will rub or take it out completely. there is probably a better method
