Default Fender rolling

i just installed my D2 coilovers. i dropped the rear to where its 5 fingers off the ground but i didnt lower the front due to lack of time. my question is i have traklite thrust rims with my tires 245/45 i dont know the offset. would it be that bad to drop the front before i roll my fenders?

I don't think I'm quite that low but very close. I rolled my rear fenders but not the front. No problems.

You should find out your width and offset, it's a major factor

Unless you have offsets deep into the negatives (like -20+) your wheels won't even get close to your fenders. 245 is 9.5 inches assuming he's not stretching tires. You'll have more hassle from your fender liner than your fenders.

I dropped my car with te37 9.5 front 10.5 rear 22+ with 255-35/19 front and 285-35/19 rear and the fronts never rubbed and the rears did slightly. Ended up rolling the rears so I can get them back into the appropriate specs.
