Default Recommend to roll?

Getting a set of coilovers coming in this week. I have a set of volks te37 17x7.5+48 (215/45/17) 17x9+65(255/40/17) Both with Hankook RS-3 tires. If I were to lower them by an inch. Would I have to fender roll. The car is a daily driver. Would I have to buy any additional parts that would make sure that the tires doesn't wear up as fast other then a alignment. Someone told me I should look into a camber kit?

With the sizes and offsets I don't think you will need to roll the fenders. A little more negative camber should work.

You do not need a camber kit. The front is what you will need to watch closely since it is still possible for the tire to rub and grab the fender even with high offset wheels.

Should be ok with just one inch, but it will rub your fender liner in the fronts. Just watch out getting on and off inclined ramps, go really slow or you may end up having fenders grabbing the tires. Yes, based on personal experience
