I rolled my fenders and cut my fender wells a bit before I lowered her. She was only that low for about 4 days (coil threads were all the way down) then i gave her a 2-3 thread bump up because her coils started to settle in after the adjustment and it got even lower.

Runs smooth now, and I said Smooth not PERFECT for those out there who are against Lowered Cars.

And as for wheels I'm planning to get some BBS RS done in bone white, 17x8.5 +35 w/ 2inch lip in front 17x9 +35 w/ 3inch lip in the rear. Not sure when BUT sometime soon ...

I should have rolled my fenders first aswell.. that was my plan on wheels white rs just like you want, but now I'm leaning towards ccw classics. What are you lowered on? Without adjusting anything but height on my coilovers my back is an inch above yours maxed out
