Lowered 19in rims, fender rolling?

Hey, I currently have 19in rims and am looking to lower it like 1.5 inches. I know the rims wont tuck so i am planning on rolling the fenders a little bit. Just wondering if anyone has had issues with larger rims when lowering their mini rubbing anything else other than the fenders such as any suspension parts... anyone?

pending tire size, it shouldnt be a problem at all

what are you running? like a 205 (or 15) / 35/ 19?

technically depending in tire you could be the same as a 16" combo, granted nobody wants rim hitting fender

yeah I think I'm running 215/35/R19... They might not completely tuck once I lower it which is why I was planning on rolling the fenders. If they tuck w/o fender rolling that would b great

oh nice, I'm assuming those are 19" rims 8" wide? They even tuck in the fenders w/o rolling? And no problems rubbing on the inside of the wheel?
