Lowering my Lancer 18x8 Offset +35

Hi Guys,

Good day.

I just want to ask your suggestions, recommendations and opinion on lowering my Mitsubishi Lancer Ex 2015.

I am currently using a stock suspension but planning to change to D2 Racing Coilovers sooner.

So here's the thing, I'm currently using an Advan Racing RS rims, 18x8.0jj Offset 35 loaded with 225/40/R18.

Will there be any rubbing issues if I dropped my ride, not so low, just an average drop of let's say 1" or 1.5" - front and rear?

Please see below pictures of my current set-up.

Thank you for your suggestions, recommendations and opinions.
Current height in stock suspension
Rear Wheel
Front Wheel

first guess is no, but you might in certain situations that its hard to plan for, like if you hit a bump while taking a corner in reverse. if you do it, take it real easy for a while obviously

The front should be ok but I think your rear fenders might have to be rolled a little. Clean car by the way

Yeah, the +35 offset is the issue. if you were +45 (stock) offset - you would be fine...
