you should be fine with a 1" drop for regular driving. I just put on some 17x8 +45 17x9 +45 with the eibach pro kit (1") and I don't rub. Just be careful with suspension travel while spirited drives. Negative camber and rolling your fender is definstely a good idea. I know I'm gonna consider it.

Honestly too low of an offset if you aren't gonna run coilovers, the car will just look weird.

^ meaning you cant go low enough to tuck with -54548 camber and your car will just look like a monster truck

I wouldn't try to run a low offset without coilovers, you will run into a lot of rubbing problems because springs have too low a of a spring rate and too much travel.

45 on a nine inch wheel sits pretty flush with the fenders cant speak for 33 though.

You will for sure need to run a lot of camber and will need to roll all four fenders unless you plan to run stretched tires on there.

Btw, what wheels are those? Don't know if I have ever seen them

i hope you realize that youre gonna have to roll and pull your fenders to fit that. a drop on a +44 will already require rolled fenders. Any less then that and youre gonna have to go to stretched tires and camber too + pulled fenders to fit it.
