What should i do

Im lowered on bc coils 2 inches.
I have a 06 coupe.
Buying these:
20" ISS Forged RX-10
Gunmetal with Polished Step lip
9.5 +10 with falken 452 225/35
10.5 +10 with falken 452 255/30

Question is should i raise the height? I know i need to roll the fenders for maximum drop but i got a camber kit in the back and plan on getting one in the front very soon! But just to put them on to sit around for the winter what should i do for now just to have them on and maybe go on a quick drive? Anything im leaving out let me know cuz im sort of a newb thanks!

I don't know what you're asking.

With those tiny tires you won't need to raise it. You might not even need to roll the fenders....

Im asking if i have to do anything special to my suspension as is just to have those wheels on cuz i gotta drive it to a shop to get the two back wheels repolished and to see if i need the fenders rolled. Pretty much will those wheels and tires fit w a two inch drop all the way around?

You SHOULD be fine. But I strongly suggest rolling the fenders before you mount them.

Why don't you just roll to the shop on your stock wheels and bring the two rear wheels with you inside the car?

Ughh... that's a terrible idea.

Try and get the fenders rolled prior to the trade just in case!

When the fenders are rolled properly you cannot tell they have been rolled.

My guy wants to see them on the vehicle so he can roll them accordingly im just sayin im using a lot of camber w my 19 forged rays on there so for the time being i think im just gunna raise the coils an inch or 2 to see how much i would really need to roll them

You roll them flat, you do NOT need a pull for this.

If your roller is telling you he needs to see them on it to know how much to roll tell him to stfu and roll it flat. Done and done.

So long as he takes his time and uses a heat gun with the roller, the paint shouldn't crack.
