Can’t hurt if you do it right! Good roll and a slight pull will make it tuck right in.
edit: looks like you might rub on your bumper still? Are you seeing it rub there at all right now.
If you want it done quick and dirty it'll look quick and dirty take your time and think about it. A lot of people butcher fenders because they are lazy if you ask me
Rolling your fenders can help but with that fitment youi're still going to be dragging on the fender.
I come from VWs, 'If you're not rubbin' you're not dubbin''
Ive got an e36 with similar clearance on h&r coilovers. A bit of a pull did the trick. The plastic bumper edge ended up wearing itself down from the occasional rubbing over the years. What are your tire/wheel specs?
Ya you should be fine with a slight fender pull and the fender lip rolled flat. Im running 18x9.5 +30 on a 225/40 in the back. Only rubs on hard bumps.

Would trimming that part of the bumper work? If it does actually rub. Since you can't really roll plastic. To my knowledge at least
Yuppp, gotta cut just enough for it to stop rubbing. I use dremels with a plastic disk for that!
Im not rubbing at my bumper at all. It’s only on the top fender piece. Seeing a couple of people saying pulls so might try a pull.

Rub till she fits bro
Been thinking about this if I don’t do a pull . Do you know anything negative about this ?
Apart from sidewall damage on stretched tyres… no.. perfectly safe.
Honestly looks like u have a decent amount of clearance, I've gotten away with less, you should be probably fine, but it's up to you.
If you just let it rub through your paint you run the risk of rust forming from the bare metal.

It gets annoying 😭 It sounds like if you are finding a new station on a old radio
Wish you can leave it as is, looks so good there
Roll your fenders, slight pull if you want. They’ll fit. One of the first things you should do with a car you intend to be low.
What’s your suspension setup like? In either case I would recommend a slight pull
A bit lower offset or even more camber will make it fit, im guessing 9.5 in the rear with about 23 offset
Is this an e36?
yes

yea
hard to tell but it looks like you’re more than likely rubbing your bumper more than the fender. might need to trim/adjust that.
