Default SSR SP1's....

Im picking up a set of SSR SP1's this weekend. My concern is the fact that im lowered with a 1 finger gap all around, im curious to know if anyone thinks I will rub, and will I need to roll/flare my fenders? Here are the sizes....

18x8 +49 Fronts

18x9.5 +55 Rears


Any help is appreciated

I am lowered one inch with 225/40/18 on a 8 with +50 and 265/35/18 on 9.5 +55, with rolled and slightly modified rear fenders. I never have a problem with rubbing doing any kind of city driving. On challenging mountain drives I sometimes get a bit of rub, but not under normal conditions.

Im lowered way more than an inch that's for sure. With the OEM wheels and tires on I can only stick one finger in between the fender and tire. I may have to raise the car I guess?!

That would be the best idea. You would not want to slam the car on those offsets.

you might not have to raise the car too much, just roll the fender
