you are pretty much going to stretch those tires. Are you a fan of the stretched look? Otherwise you can roll your fenders but please do it correctly.

I've rolled a set of fenders the incorrect way, with a heat gun and a wood baseball bat turned out pretty good though, just wait for warmer weather first. Unless you like cracked paint...

whats the offset on those wheels? on only a 7.5" wheel a 215 isnt gonna be stretched at all. most run a 225/40/18 tire though. it is a little more common size so your options will be greater and possibly cheaper too. get atleast two decent sticky tires also if you plan on making any use of your power as well. i'd recommend the kumho ecsta xs or dunlop direzza z1 star spec as affordable yet very good performing options.
also the merkur guy on kzoorice has a fender roller i remember him posting available to do fender rolling services for cheap. if that does come up he may be a good option to try and get a hold of.

not sure on the offset, the rim is 18x7.5 so the 225/40/18 would be perfect

There's also a guy that rents out his eastwood fender roller too. He's on xceed too, maybe it's the same guy Brent speaks of, but I don't recall him offering to do the work..

The car will possibly be for sale this spring, no modding will be done besides a new trans and clutch if the deal goes through on this evo
