Can I install Megan coilovers WITHOUT rolling fenders?

Hello aziners. I want to get some megan coilovers on my TL but wasn't sure if I have to roll the fenders to accomodate rims/tires. I'll be running 235/35/19's up front and 245/35/19's in the rear. If it matters, the tires are Vredesteins and the car is an 04 base automatic. Should I get different size tires or will this setup work fine?

I'm sorry for not including that info. The rims are 19x8.5 with a 35mm offset in front, and 19x9.5 with a 45mm offset in the rear. I do not want my ride slammed, but I'd say lowered between 1-1.5".

If you are only lowering 1 or so inches, why bother with coils? Springs can handle that just fine

I really like the idea of being able to adjust my ride height as the seasons change. Although I do have a jeep for winter, I dont want the TL to be non-functioning during that time.

i think since he is runin a 245/35 on the back it will be stretched a bit on 9.5" rims so it should be comprable to what i am running... but i might be switching soon im just afraid if it will fit

off topic but, where do you all find tires for you 19's at... shops around here give me the run around telling me O we don't have them or you will pay an arm and a leg for them... So they made me go with 18's so I have the ease in finding tires..

^ Order online from tirerack.com, discounttire.com, etc. and have them ship to your shop of choice if you can't find sizes locally. Besides, shopping online is way cheaper.
