Default Lowering a 2007 IS 250?

I have 20 X10" rims with 255/35/20 tires in the rear and I wanted to know if I would have to roll my fenders or modify them it in any way to lower it by 1.5 inches?

What are your wheel offsets? Are they all the same size (square setup)?

They are staggered 9's in the front and 10's in the rear with a 35mm offset. I've been trying to add pictures but the sight is saying I don't have authorization to do so. Tires - 225/35/20 on the front and 255/35/20 on the rear.

Depends on the offset as mentioned but I'd roll the fronts and rears. I have 20x9 and 20x10.5

Looking at the front, there isn't much to roll. I'm going to have to go to a smaller tire on the front like a 225/30/20but I don't want to sacrifice the smooth ride.
