just fit them last night, car is nto clean, but thought I would post it anyway.
19x8.5 up front
19x9.5 out back, I will probably have to roll the rear fenders, just to be on the safe side.

I have the TEIN Flex coilovers. My apex of my rear fender arch is at 26" above the ground. if that gives any more info for comparison. the rears will rub, if at some point I end up with full compression of the rear suspension, but since these are not my track wheels, I don't know that I have to worry about it, but our car really loads the rear suspension up, more than most people might be aware of.
this is an 8, on track, with the TEIN flex...
I don't plan to see that kind of loading on the street, but on a mountain run, it could get close. Better safe than sorry, to roll them would cost so little, to cut a tire down, could be very costly.

and yeah, just rent a fender roller, there is a guy that rents them out. I am going to have to contact him soon, and our fender lip is pretty thin, so it should not be too hard.

that is a bit much, now, if they had to expand your fenders at all, that might get costly. but a simple roll, if you had to pay 3200, im sorry, you got taken. and I would be pissed. around here, it can be done by a shop, for anywhere from $50-$100 per fender.

^Oh yeah! That's right! The only painful part is testing to see if you've rolled enough. This entails a lot of remounting the wheels, quick drive, get out of the car, check for the rubbing culprit, dismount, roll, remount! Test again!

Kane, I am glad you did not have to pay for that. Either they flared the fender some more, which I doubt, or the person that started to roll the fender cracked the paint, which required re-painting the rear panel. Even then, someone got rear ended on that one, and got taken for $3200.

You really shouldn't need to roll fenders with only 9.5's unless your really really really slammed and who in their right mind would want to drive a car that slammed anyway. I've never had any issues with my 19x9.5's on lowered car no matter how extreme the driving (extreme enough to make passengers sick with vertigo for an hour after the drive).

while I am not doubting that people with 9.5 inch wheels, don't have to roll their fenders, it is problably because they are running a higher offset. I could be wrong.

MB Motoring EXE II. No real weight savings versus stock, but I think they look nice if you're willing to stay 18". Around $456.00 (marked down from 856 dollars) shipped from discount tire. Compatible with TPMS as well.
