Default Anyone with wheel rub?

I know that there have been alot of posts about proper tire size and fitment, but I havn't seen anything about fender rub. I have allready installed my new wheels. They are Foose Speedster's with 295-35-18's in the back (18x10) and 245-40-18's in the front (18x9). The wheels look great and the offset is perfect, but the fender gap makes the car look like a 4x4. I want to lower the car using the eibach pro-kit, but i'm concerned that the back tires will rub the fender well when the suspension is under full compression. I need to have full travel in whatever suspension I have because new orleans has terrible streets and those streets will put your car to it's limits.

Has anyone had any kind of rub. Even with 20's. I just need to know if this will be an issue.

You shouldn't have any problems at all as your wheels are more than 1" shorter that the stock wheels. So even when you lower the car you will have extra room for the tires to eliminate rubbing.
