Default Pro-kit and 285 tires

It's almost time to put new tires on. I figured while I'm at it I would buy new rims as well. I was thinking of 18x10s in the rear and 18x9s up front. But I currently have Eibach Pro-kit spring on my car and I'm concerned that the 285s that I would put on the rear might rub the fender where it flares out/down. There looks to be only about 2 inches of clearance right now.

Should I be concerned? Anybody running with this configuration?

Ive got 285s on mine in the back. No clearance issues. Go for it, it looks awesome with the wide tires.

on a 18x9 rim, can 275/285's fit? I don't want any sidewall issues or anything.
