I'm sure you won't rub with those wheels and the springs on. It's not like your mad lowered.

Eric,
It all depends if you are considering a big brake kit. For Stoptechs or Brembos you should look for a 44 offset. If you run 235s, depending on how low your car is be prepared to rub a little bit, most likely in the rear. With an Eibach Pro-Kit you can expect to have a greater chance of rubbing, where as if you had stiff coilovers or the like the chances would decrease. All in all, you should be ok, but most likely would need to roll your fenders, depending on how low your car is going to be.

I had a 1.8" lowering kit on my car with 17x8" wheels with a 48mm offset and 235's.
You will not rub with eibachs and a 48mm offset...so basically if you are getting rotas you have no worries...you may rub with wheels that have different offsets though

yep like chris said it depends on the offset. With a 17x8 +48 you will most likely not rub. I am running 17x8 +44 (need that offset to clear brembos 
) w/ 235 tires and i did rub. My car wasn't slammed but it was lowered quite a bit. I rolled my fenders this weekend and no more rubbing.
