i highly doubt it, but just in case. roll your fenders, they wont get messed up, you'll have a nice crease on the inside, wont notice a thing

I have a 97 sedan and dropped it 2 3/4'' without it rubbing, with that size tire also.......But I was too cheap to buy a camber kit, and screwed my tires up after 8000 miles.

after that I went with a 205/40 17 ....tucks up in there nicely...
