I have no clue. I have 17x10.5 03 cobras and I have coilovers in the rear which are much wider the stock shocks and I have no rubbing.

Are you talking about them rubbing on the quad shocks?

is it rubbing the shock or the axle dampner, (the axle dampner is the short that is almost horizontal), i have 10.5s on mine and they were rubbing the body of the axle dampner and i just flipped it around so the rod is the section near the tire and have had no problems.

I would say pick up a 1/8th" spacer and be done with it. Thats what I did on mine because i had some rubbing issues with the exhaust and inner wheel well on one side. Apparently eagle f1's are cut really wide.

im having no prob with mine rubbing, but like uberstang said, you can just flip the quad shock to get so more clearance.
