your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. i'm running 19x9.5 275 et23 with a decently low drop in the rear (covers some of the tire), and a roll was enough to stop rubbing. you should have no problem on stock susp with 265 tires.

The only way for me to not rub when I'm driving around is if I slow down to 25 mph, and I'd probably get a ticket that way.
Now the question comes down to, should I shave or roll my fenders? A few friends told me simply rolling them wouldn't be enough, while others tell me rolling will be just fine. I'm also curious as to what are the downsides (or pros/cons) of rolling and shaving the fenders? I know shaving is somewhat extreme since it's definitely irreversible. Is the inside of my fenders prone to rust or deterioration from the shaving?
I'm a total newb at this so any information would help.
I love the aggressive-ness of the wheels so getting smaller wheels isn't an option in my book!
