Shouldn't rub. I run 18x9's on my front with 275 tires, and no rubs, with 1.2" steeda springs.

DO keep your isolators (round bushings that sit on top of the springs and rubber bushings that wrap around the top of the spring), even if some buddy recommends you don't so you'll go even lower. Otherwise, you'll have a harsher ride and squeals, and it will lower your ride more than the springs alone are designed to do.

At more than 1.5" drop, you start having all sorts of things happen that are not good, like bumpsteer - Steeda makes a great bumpsteer kit, but if you don't have the problem, why create it?
