probably not...but if they do, just pull off the tabs by the edge of the fender, or hit the inside of the fender wall with a hammer. Not too tough

no you'll be fine, i have coilovers slammed to the ground, tucking tire, and I still can turn all the way left and right without rubbing. Mine is at least a 2.5" drop. Oh and i have 225/40/18
