Default Megan Coilover question 2000 LS400

I have a 2000 LS400 with 19" wheels, running 245 40 19 tires.
Here is the question if I install Megan Coilovers with a 1.5 drop in the front 2.00 in the back will the tires rub? Would I have to roll the fenders.Thanks..

i had my rear fenders cut and im running the same tire size along with the megan coilovers. i have a 19x9.5 w/ +33 offset in the rear. i also used a 7mm spacer. it sits pretty flushed and no rubbing issues in the rear.

I'd say the 245 will rub on full lock. Consider a 235/35/19. You'll get alot more clearance and you'll get lower as well. Win win.

Your gonna need spacers and extended lugs for that kind of offset from what I remember. 245/40's should clear
