Lowered with 25mm/30mm spacers?

OK, can the front fenders be rolled?

To be honest, the wheel/fender gap for the fronts are much bigger than the rears so more of an issue to solve.

Rubbing will be an issue with 25 mm spacers as it occasionally is already with 20 mm spacers.

There is indeed a larger wheel to fender gap up front which is why all the lowering spring kits available provide a larger drop up front than in the back. But we must also think, why did Nissan make it so? Surely there was a purpose and perhaps it's because they needed more clearance in the front for suspension travel and such to avoid rubbing.

For the most part I only rub when I hit hard bumps that cause my front suspension to compress almost completely. This is evident by the plastic piece of fender lining towards the bumper that my wheels have worn down.
