to rub or not to rub

I have OZ. 18 x 8 Ultraleggera's (48 offset) with 235/40/18's. Thinking about new springs and sway bars to lower and improve performance. Anyone have knowledge as to whether this will cause the tires to rub anywhere? Will fenders need to be rolled front or back? Don't believe front fenders can be rolled? Anyone rolled the MS3 fenders...easy/difficult? Other ideas?(scratch)
 
I rolled my MS3 fenders to fit my 245/40/18s and it wasnt that hard at all. It was my first time doing it, and I used a lot of heat, a fender roller, and had a lot of patience.
 
The common place for wider tires to rub is on the forward portion of the rear fenders (about 10 o'clock on the driver's side, about 2 o'clock on the passenger side). This is the only place I've read about problems happening. I've been running 235/40 on an 18x8+48 all summer with no issues, including an autox. But I'd like to have the rears rolled to be safe, and in case I want to lower slightly in the future.

I think you're right that we can't roll the fronts. It kinda looks like they're already "rolled" from the factory.
