Why? It's not hard or expensive and it gives considerably more room. If you don't want to rub and you dont want to roll your fenders, then get a thinner tire like 245/40. I know from personal experience that it will not rub.

Yes roll the fenders and maybe trim some of the plastic in the back. Nothing big.

You do know that what you're rolling is really the material bent inward from the outside of the fender itself right? So you're not really bending any of the fender that was painted itself. The only thing you should be worried about is spider cracks in the paint where the bend is which can be controlled by using a heat gun prior to each time you use the roller. I did mine on my own with a heat gun and roller and had no spider cracks form in the paint. Just take your time with it to get it done right.

You'll be fine in the front but you will need to roll your rear's. You wont hit that tab I dont think (with just stechs).

Those will look stock, as stock wheel size is 18x8 +50.

depending on your definition of "flush", the tires you run and the camber settings anywhere from +25 to -500
