i had a ke70 sedan, in which i was running 205's on 15's.. 6.5 i think inches wide, and it was quite low, im surpised i was never sickered haha anyways, i had to bash them out with a hammer to stop guard rub..
then i ran 195's.. and it actually drove quite nicely for once 
so yes.. you will need to roll your guards, in my experience anyways..

Do your tyres scrub the guards now when you hit a bump? If not, then you 'probably' wont need to roll the guards, as rolling only removes the small folded lip at the edge of the wheel arch anyway.
flaring, or 'pumping' the guards is another deal altogether, to enlarge the wheel clearance further up into the guard also.
