Default Lowered 4th gen clearence issues?

Im about to order a set of lowering springs for my Camaro. 1.5" all around. Im currently running 18x9.5's in the front and 18x10.5's in the rear. Front has P275/40/R18's and rear has Mickey Thompson ET Street P305/35/R18's. Will i run into any clearence issues when i lower the car? Will i need to cut/roll the fender wells or just BFH? My next set of rear tires are going to be Nitto NT05 P305/45/R18 so i excpect ill have to do some work to make those fit. But can i fit my current setup without any problems? Let me know if this setup works and if anyone has any pictures please post!

Thanks!

You are definitely going to need to use a BFH to clearance the inner wheel well back there and there is a possibility that you may have to roll the fenders also. That 1.5" drop is a good drop and a bit lower than we are used to working with since our BMR lowering springs are a 1.25" drop.

U may need to in the rear with 45 sidewall ratio. That is a good bit of tire. Also nittos tend to run smaller than other brands
