it will not rub, I had the same setup, not even close to rubbing. I even had that same setup with KYB AGX shocks which dropped it down another two finger gap to flush. (no gap) It still never rubbed u'll be fine.

if you dont rub w/ your stock rims u wont rub on 18's either i mean.. 18's are the same size as 15inch OEM rims i mean the radius of the WHOLE wheel only diff is that the RIM got bigger and the TIRE got thinner... just gotta watch out for the off set like USC said :thumbup:

yea, don't u feel like ur driving a snow plow or a street cleaning vehicle? I felt like I was, so I got rid of the springs and put in GC coilovers.
