I think with any roll you'd clear it easy. Maybe barely rub the rear tab location every now and then if you don't relocate it. If you did roll I'd go with a 20mm at least.

mind you different brand tires make a difference too! If I adjust the camber I probably won't rub either, right now I only rub once in a while.

Hey i'm running 15mm front and 20mm rear right now and I'm lowered by 1". I'm planning to get coilovers soon and lower it .5" more so 1.5" drop. Will i need to roll and flare my fenders? Only my rear rub on big dips but overall not much rubbing overall.

What tires you're running matters too. You may need to max out the camber, but just to be on the safe side, I'd roll if I were you. You probably don't need to flare though.

I'm running 15f/17r spacers on AP2v2 wheels lowered 1.2" on Swift Spec R springs w/ camber at 1.8f/2.5r and I don't rub at all. I'm still running 215/245. After these tires go, I'm switching to 225/255 and rolling the fenders.

I am on espelirs and I would call it about a 1 finger gap in the back. I had some pics of my setup posted earlier in this thread. Ran it for about a year like that with no issues. I'd imagine if you were on a stiffer set of coilovers you wouldn't rub at all. I've since then rolled the fenders though.
