before i answer that question, let me ask you this:

currently, where is your front ride height (approximately)?

when you can answer that question, i will answer your question.

at that height?

don't bother heating up your fender liner; it'll be a waste of time for you.

again, fender modifications + shaved fender tabs.

that, or run wheels with more conservative offsets, if you don't have the heart for fender modifications.

depending on how you define "mild drop".

you shouldn't need fender work in the front, depending on your tire size.

you'll need work fender work in the rear.

Im planning to get some varrstoen's and debating on what set up I want to get. I'm gonna be pretty low with no camber kit so I wont be able to run much camber to make low offset wheels fit. I will be flaring out my fenders and rolling them quite a bit to compensate though. I was thinking about (Front)19x9.5 +30 and (Rear)19x10.5 +22 with a little stretch. What do you guys think? I want to be flush with no poke. I'm gonna try to touch the fender with the rim on coilovers.

Do you think that will fit in the front without messing up the fenders? I don't want to rub at all in the front. I will be flaring the fronts out pretty far out though.

Need a quick answer since gonna order tires in the morning.

Is 225/35/19 a stretch on a 19x8.5 wheel? I really want 235/35/19 but pretty sure I will rub in front, offset being 38.
I hate the stretch look.

I'm running a 225/35/19 on a 19x9 +38 up front. It's a mild stretch for a 9" wide wheel so it will be an even less stretch on an 8.5. I had quite a bit of rubbing up front with the 225/35 when I lowered on coils, but I have no rubbing now after minor fender mods.
