Lowering, will I need a roll?
Im lowering my car about a inch on eibach springs. My rim/tire sizes are 17*7.5+45 with 225/45 tires and rear is 17*8+48 with 245/40 tires. Do I need to roll my fenders? or will they be fine.

It seems to me that if I hit something that hard I would damage my fender rolled or not, would just rolling and cutting back the fender liner prevent that? I dont wanna pull the fender, I want it to look the same from the outside.

After my experience, I would leave the front alone, but roll the rear. The problem is when the tire has something to catch against and it pulls the fender lip down. The rear has a lip to catch on, and the front has tabs to catch on if they are exposed and not completely cut and rolled back with fenders sometimes pulled. Best bet is to jack up one wheel of the car to get the opposing side to compress and check your clearances. Sometimes all you need is a little more negative camber to save yourself.

Something you can do once the springs are installed before you drop the car put the jack under the tire and jack it up. That should tell you what kind of clearance you have it you bottom out. Junky is right the fronts will be less of a concern but like jst said you must be careful turning.
