Well, at 30 kts crosswind and 132 kts approach speed you need around 9 degrees bank angle if no crab.

Assuming a 5 degree landing attitude, some 737 classics will smack parts on the ground at around 10.5 degrees bank.

That means just a 1.5 degree margin.

Also if the flare is held for too long, it's not unusual for the pitch attitude to rise 2-3 degrees further. That will diminish the roll margin to zero.
