what's the offset on your wheels and what tire size are you running? Chances are, they might rub a bit around turns (if you hit a bump), but you should be good for the most part

well, you have the right tire size anyway. If you look at the inside of the wheel, on the spokes there should be numbers. One of them will be your offset (addiction had a picture of it a while back, but I can't find it and my wheels don't have the offset stamp for me to take a picture of). Anyway, if the offset is at least +38mm, they'll tuck just fine if you hit a bump or something (1.8f and 1.5r isn't enough to tuck tires under normal conditions). But if you're going around a turn at a low speed (where you have the steering wheel turned a good bit) and you hit a bump, the front wheels will probably rub. There's really not much you can do about it.

I didnt and dont have rubbing issues...same car, same springs, and had the same tire size...definately teh offset makes a difference though not much when you are talking a few mm (and for sure anything +38 and above will be fine that much I know)...I havent ever had a rubbing issue in the rear. You should be fine as well unless you do a rear camber kit. I am running negative camber in the rear, and have no noticable difference in tire wear + they dont rub. Addiction had to roll his fenders, but he added a camber kit and fixed his rear camber.

My front I added a camber kit but have never had a rubbing issue before the kit or after.

Offset is +40mm so you're fine look here
