Quick fender roll question

sorry for noob questions but just looking for a quick answer.
so i will be dropped on koni yellows + eibach sports, which is about an inch or so drop. and going with 18x9.5 et12 in the front and 18x10 et12 rear.
question is will i have to roll my fenders? if so does that mean i lose my fender liners/guard (if read somewhere that you do since the fender lip is rolled back)?
thanks for question answers/help.

edit: also what tire specs would be best for this set up?

this will look stupid. First look at this link: http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

Then measure or try to visualize this on your car. Then you make a decision if that is gonna look good or not and how it would fit. I think you would have to drop the car more and pull the fenders, not just roll them and run some negative camber and stretch the tire for it to look any good.

that's some really stretched tire and lower than 1". And probably has a lot of camber
