Default quick question about lowering

ive got ruff racing 280s 19x9.5 in the rear 19x8.5 in the front with a +20 offset all the way around. Im about to purchase some Tanabe GF210 springs and was wondering if I would have to roll the fenders at all..?

Any input would be appreciated

thanks

why are your front tires taller than your rear? and is this with or without camber correction?

With conservative tire sizing, you should have no problem rubbing and should not require fender rolling.

Sounds like you shouldn't need camber kit if you are under the 1" drop. I have read in the past that over 1" you may need a camber kit.

Can you post some pics of your ride with the 280s on it?
