u should be fine after a drop,
if u still rub, all u need to do is to trim that piece where the bumper and the fender connect.

The right way to fix your fender rubbing issue. Is to sell the wheels you have now and get the right offset that works.. Hit up Sharif at Forged Performance.. He can tell you all the offsets that will work guaranteed.. He knows his stuff!!!!!

well i think i have the right offset couze those rims used to be on my G35 and didn't rub at all and on my g37 it only rubes when i go over bumps and the guy who changed the rimes for me he said that i have to get lower profile tiers or roll my fenders
