Angry suspension questions

I recently put new rims and tire on, 17x9 275/40 on back and 17x8 245/40 on front. I have a BBK 1.5" lowering kit with KYB GR2 struts and gas adjust on back after I put the wheels on I'm pretty much rubbin at all 4 corners not as much the back as the front. Will a 1" coil spacer save me the trouble of taking the car back to stock height? I plan on tryin to roll the fenders this weekend but I think I still need to raise it a bit too. Any input guys?

roll the fenders and see where it puts you...coil spacers suck. or do like i did and put an adjustable coil over conversion up front and set it exactly where you want it...thats a little more money though haha. im a little confused though becasue i have 9.5s on rear and 9 on front and my rear is rolled but front isnt and im not hitting. mine is 5 lug converted too but im also running a 7/8 spacer all around?? i lowered mine around 1.5-1.7 inches in front and only about 1 in the rear too so you should be squeezing in there fine
