Default Will I have rubbing issues?

I have a 98GT and just baught 17x10.5 bullitt wheels from AM. I also baught toyo proxes 315/35/17 tires for the wheels. I am lowered a good bit. I have eighbach pro kit rear springs also with a half a coil cut off.

I was wondering will I have rubbing issues. My quad shocks are already taken out. So not worried about those.

I had same setup on uncut pro kit springs without issue, im not sure but arent those springs progressive rate? If so cutting them will effect performance .

It will be close .. Raise it up and test fit a wheel only and eyeball it and you could almost make the difference up with the tire just by looking at it

Yea they are progressive but i didn't care much cause I'm switching to steeda road racing springs in the near future. 900 front spring rate. 350 rear I think.
