Default Getting a drop on Wednesday....will it work?

Hey guys, I'm new here but a regular at E46Fanatics!

I thought it was about time I stop lurking and actually join the forum!

So I've got a 2001 BMW 330i and I'm getting ready to get my ST coilovers installed this Wednesday. I'd like to know if I'll have any issues with my setup as I'm looking to get the tires in the rear to tuck in under the fender.

I've got 19x9.5 ET45 with a 265/30/19 tire on the rear. Will I need to do any fender rolling or more serious modifications to get this to work? Or will I be fine without doing any serious work? The ST's advertise a 2" drop in the rear and I'm looking to go about that low(maybe just a bit higher, around 1.6-1.8") As it sits right now, with sport suspension I have no rubbing issues at all.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Just drop it down at max , and you will see. Youve already bought the coilovers if there is problem just raise or get the lip rolled flat. You will always get a little more camber when lowering.

Thanks for your reply Dani! You're right, I guess there really is no real way to tell until I get it dropped. I'll get it dropped and see if I need a roll from there.
