Synthetic winch rope and roller fairleads?

[Santiago]

Can I use a synthtic winch rope with the roller fairlead that came with my Milemarker winch or is the roller fairlead only intended to be used with wire cable? (the winch came with 3/8 cable but I am changing it for a used synthetic rope which I have at home).

Are only Hawse Fairleads supposed to be used with synthetic ropes?

I think I have seen people using roller fairleads with synthetic whinch ropes but I am not sure whether those are specially mae for ropes or not.

Thanks in advance

Santiago, the difference I would be concerned about is catching the rope at the upper or lower ends of the rollers. That can cut or damage the rope.
