I haven't looked at the rears closely but I think they can be rolled as far as the fascia too. Be aware that the rear suspension gains negative camber and toe out when compressed. So you can really push the tire out to the rear fender if that's the look you need.

Yeah the color looks tremendous in the sunlight. The front fenders are more or less factory rolled from what I can tell. I mean i'm sure with a fender roller I could pinch the fender lip a smidge tighter and get a few mm's extra clearance but that may not even be neccesary. As for the rears.......I don't believe they are rollable. It's somewhat of a double-walled setup in our rear fenders......not your traditional "fender lip" like the fronts. I talked to a few shops that I am friends with and have worked with in the past and they all said that the only viable solution would be to trim the metal (essentially cut the lip off altogether). I haven't even swapped my tires over to the new wheels yet so i'm holding off on doing something that extreme until I do an actual test fit. I am hoping that with the little bit of stretch (my 255/35's will be going onto a 19x10 in the rear) will help it to fit without having to do too much modification. I guess I will just have to wait and see! I am picking the car up tomorrow freshly dipped and my exhaust is being done there as well.
