Default HELP! lowering my car with 275/40/18 all four

I'm having my American Racing Shelby Razors 18x9 and BFG's 275/40/18's installed on Wednesday. I want to lower it after they are installed, but I'm not sure about clearance issues. I should be fine in the rear, but I'm worried about the front. I may have to just lower the rear about an inch. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I tried on a pair of 18 by 9 and a half and the fit ok, but rubbed when the front wheels were turned all the way.

I am running 255's in front with Elibach Pro springs with no issue. I wouldn't think with a 1" drop you would have an issue. I good tire dealer like (Discount tires) would let you switch them out if you have a rubbing issue. You can always measure to be on the safe side.

Exact size I run, no drop in front, 3/4" in rear, no problems.
