yes you can roll those no problem just have someone that knows what they are doing (usually a wheel shop)
My CL55 has Aluminum Quarters and I rolled them and gave my wheels over .5" of clearance

@Samo7 did you manage to roll your fenders?

I am currently running 295/35-20 tires on 10j20 ET38 wheels, front and rear, and they rub only when:
- front, on big dips at high speed when turning. it rubs the fender
- rear, on big dips at high speed or at very tall speed bumpers. it rubs the inner liner.
- rear with 10mm spacer, always at high speeds and on small or tall speed bumpers, it rubs the fender badly. no more rubbing the inner liner.

My objective is to run 295/35-20 tires front and 305/35-20 tires rear, using this set of wheels. For this I will need to roll the fenders front and back.
