Even with a 19x8.5 +43 offset up front and 19x9.5 +45 offset in the rear for the rims their will not be a problem with rubbing ?

Btw I will also be getting the jc's coilovers as well.

thanks for the input mikeb

With it dropped you'll probably have an issue, but at stock height you'll be fine. Their is a tool available to do fender rolling, but it's expensive as hell ($500). Your best bet is to find a quality shop in your area to roll the fenders. Make sure they have the equipment to do it, and that they're not using a baseball bat!
