You make rub when the wheel is completely cut to one side in a parking lot but it would be barely. People do it all the time and don't have any problems.

I will slightly rub when i turn all the way to the left... but not really enough for it to be a big deal..

if you had a 2" drop you might need to roll the fender a bit. but like everyone else said. with a 1.5" you should be fine
