Lowering Car: Fender Roll?

Hey guys I just got my basics and I'm installing them next week. Just a quick question. If I drop the ride down about 1.5" all the way around do you think I will need to roll my fenders or modify my body at all. If so then what? I have 19x8.5's in front on 245/35 and in the rear have 19x9.5's rolling on 285/35 help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

I'm on Basics and my rears are 275/30 19x9.5. I have the rear setting as low as it will go and no need to roll the fender. I have an inch gap that I'd like to close up with the spring mount mod at which point I'll roll the rear fender. Do you have a rear camber kit? If not, I'd suggest getting the kit with toe bolts.

You may not have to roll your fenders with that setup, it all depends on the offset of the wheel

Yes I have the SPC Front A Arm kit as well as I'm installing the SPC rear camber arms with the toe bolts.

19x9.5+25 with a 285/35/19 will not need a roll in the rear

Maybe I'm retarded but I had to roll my fenders with +20 285/35/19 in the rears. Mind you you have 5mm less than me but what's 5mm? Probably a lot I guess.

5 mm = 5/10ths of a centimeter

+25 in the rear will not require your fenders to be rolled?

Good I'm glad to hear that....i really didn't want to roll my fenders. All I gotta worry about now is all my lights (vdc, slip, abs) coming on the dash when i install the spc kit?
