I'm running 18 x 8 with 245/40/18 I believe (it might be 235..) falken azeni's.

I noticed my tires rub in the front on the inner side (strut side)

I just put on 17x8 Rota torques too. Im running Swift wagon-specific springs, and KYB GR-2 Struts and I have zero rubbing. I doubt you will have any problems with your spring set up.

i have no problems with my rota torques 17x8, 245/40/17 dunlop star specs. plently of room with a lowered car on coilovers.

the only way to find out is to try it, if it rubs on the fender for some reason in the rear pull some negative camber out in the rear and/or roll the fenders.

shouldnt be a problem though, go for it
