A 1.8" drop combined with a 205/50/15 will leave plenty of room for a R lip. I have a 205/40/16 (slightly shorter tire) with a 2.5" drop and a Wings West RS lip, and it doesn't hit anything on the road (even speed bumps). Looks bad *** too. I do have to come into my driveway at a 45 degree angle to keep the lip off the curb though...
