Sorry to bring this back up but do you think I will have to roll the fenders or have rubbing issues with the rears and running 285/30 tires?

yes you have to roll your fenders

I assume it is best to bring it to a shop with the new wheels on to roll the fender or is it best (dont even know if it is possible) to have it rolled with the old wheels on?

you may not have to roll your fenders to run 285 on the back, several have not had to with the max cooper fitment 18x10 / 285s

I believe Max Cooper started the move to 18X10 with +50. Contact him and ask him if he had to roll the fenders or not. I get the impression he did not. 18 X 10 Fitment

The thing is that you won't need a 50+ offset for the back. You could go with a 43 or 37 (with rolling) with the 18x10's but the problem most people face is the offset for the front wheels. If you use the 18x10's for the front, a 50+ offset will be required. The back is not the problem (regarding offset), it's the front. Lets face it, the chances are pretty damn good that you'll have to roll the fenders if you go with a 9.5 and above width for the back.
