Making room for a drop

I finally got the KW suspension on. Right now I dropped the car about 1.75-2" and am trying to keep the ride smooth while not making it to soft where the wheels rub on bumps. The tires rub a bit around 110+mph with the slightest bumps or 70+ mph with the slightest bumps and cornering but right now I have 225 tires on which won’t be on much longer. If I roll the fenders it probably won’t rub at all. I still want to lower it another 1" without rubbing. Is there anything you can do other then rolling the fenders? I'm going to take out the fenders and try to get rid of any screws or things of that sort unless someone has a better idea. I'll make something for the front so the tires don’t pull dirt into the engine bay. I plan on putting a half inch wider wheel on but backing down to a 205 tires (I like the skinny tires on wide wheels look, plus it’s much easier than wider tires). The 225s will become my track tires untill they wear down (3-4 events) then I'm going with 215s but I already plan on adjusting the suspension for the track so I can always raise the car too.

Sorry for such a long explanation for a simple question but I know people would ask half these things anyways. My basic question is what can I do other than rolling the fenders? Just what I already plan on doing?

Also any links to good articles about rolling fenders would be helpful.

Actually, other than rolling the fenders I'm not sure if I need to do anything to the front. I'm looking at it and I might want a lower offset in the front then the back, but I think that'd be too much of a pain in the ass. +38mm in the front and +45mm in the back. The front only rubbed a tiny bit on a small part of the fender, I lowered it more, less than 1/4 an inch and I dont think I'll have any problems. The backs however are being eating by the lip (part that needs to get rolled) and I think the wheels could be more towards the body.

well..... you could allways install a wide body kit

I still want one.... perhaps we can figure something out together to make it happen... I will PM you.
