lower my car

Hey iamtheodor!
I have the same offsets and tire sizes... yet, I was afraid to lower my car because of very little clearance with the fenders. Yours looks really good and mine seems to sit a little high by comparison ...does your car rub at all with the coilovers?

If the minimal rubbing doesn't bother you then yeah I'd lower it

But if you want to keep it at that height, that's good too.

I think that it would look better lowered, but I have noticed that my rear tires are already bumping into the inner fender when driving over a certain bridge in my area... If I use coilovers, will that still be an issue?

Another route you could take would be to roll the fenders a little bit so your wheels won't hit them anymore before you lower it.
