Well this doesn't sound good....

My car is lowered 1" and I am putting on 16s with 4.8" backspacing.

depends how wide you go. 4.8 puts the rim more in-board, so the 1" lowered shouldnt make a difference in terms of hitting the top outside edge of the fender. I am not sure with that sort of back spacing but you may be running into clearance issues with tie rods on full lock turns. have you looked at dodgestangs charts?

I was told they are 16x7. I am getting a 1" wheel adapter on also. dodgestangs chart only has 16x7going up to4.25 backspacing. I am getting the 1" added so I think I will be good that way.
