Need help or advice on coilovers/fitment

First time poster here so i hope im doing this right, but i was planning on buying BC racing BR series coilovers for my G relatively soon and i was wondering if anybody knows if i have to get camber plates or control arms to go with it. The thing im concerned about is that i have a little bit of poke with the rear wheels, they stick out a mm or two past the fender. The poke itself isnt the issue, i just want to make sure i wont have any clearance issues with the wheel/tire hitting the fender or the inside wheel well on bumps. I only want to drop about 1.25-1.50 inches all around.

My understanding is that lowering the ride height will naturally increase the negative camber. I dont want to increase it any more than that or id be going through tires every month. (I know im going to have to roll the fenders btw thats a given) But any advice would be well appreciated for a guy thats new to coilovers/aftermarket suspension.

Front: 19x9.5+25mm offset 245/35
Back: 19x11+30mm offset 285/30

Im not an expert or anything, but this is my train of thought. Given your concerns (too much camber, too much tire wear, hitting fender). I would say to drop the G 1 to 1.25 in max. The drop will give you a little bit of clearance for your wheels not to hit the fender due to natural camber when you drop. rolling fenders will also help Once you do that, keep an eye on you tire wear and see if you are hitting the fenders. you can always adjust the height. if the camber plate is needed then add a plate or how ever that works dont know.

trial and error. but this is the safes route to reduce your errors. but i think you will be fine looking at the photos.

Hope this helps. have fun.

Any drop will REQUIRE a front/rear camber kit. 1" drop is going to pretty much max out your standard camber kits, you will need to roll the front if you're on stock tire size/offset since you're out further you will need to roll the front AND pull the rear just judging from the picture angle.
