Default 275-35-18 tires on a lowered car...will i scrub?

im ordering my new wheels and tires soon and wanted to make sure they wont scrub when i get them on. my car is lowerd 1.75 inches all the way around, and i wanna go with a 275 wide tire on the front and back (same all the way around so i can rotate them later downt he road). my question is will i scrub with a 275 tire up front, being that my car is lowered almost 2 inches? if i do scrub, would it be an easy fix?

With that offset you'll be fine.
