Default lowering a coupe with wheels??

If I get 19x10 wheels for the rear and 19x9 or 19x8.5 for the front, will I have to roll my fenders if I lower my car?? I want to lower it as much as possible but probably about 1.25"

Most likely with 10.5 rears, anything over 1" will warrant you rolling your fenders.

This really depends on your offset. If its really low you'll have to roll.

It is going to be real close. I dropped my front 1.25 and rear .8 inches, with 19 X 8.5 in front and 19X 9.5 in the rear with .25 offset. On 245/35 F and 275/35 R tires. It looks fine, and no rubbing, but it is close.

i am afraid I may have to roll mine at stock height, but I am going 20x10.5 in the rear. Am not sure if I will entertain a drop or not, waiting to see how it all fits and feels...

but I am fully expecting to roll....8/

Do you have any pictures of your car? What did you use to drop your car... springs, or coil-overs?

EDIT: I just read your sig. pics?

Tigerstyle you shouldn't have to roll them. I have 20 x 10.5 and I didn't have to roll. Offset in the rear is +29 and on 20 x 9 front the offset is +26.

I'm rolling 19x10.5 +22 offset with Tein S(1.25"-1.5") and no rubbing. I'm very close though.
