i think its the passenger side that will rub first.. i know with my 18z i can put 4 people in the car and have my speaker box in the back with no rubbing.. but i also only have a 1.5 incho drop and a 47mm offset on my rims..good luck..you may only need to roll the rear fenders..

no1stunna- they look like they might be ok.
you should prob just get coilovers and if they rub raise it up.
what i did was im running 18 x 7.5 rims w 215/35/18 tires
and im lowered on g.c coilovers adjusted all the way down 3.''
so when i frist put on the rims my passenger side rubbed a little.
so i jacked my car up took a grinder to the inside lip on bolth sides and grinded down the lip that every one is rolling in. it didint chip it like when you roll it, and doesnt loose its strenght
like when you roll it up. hope this helps out!
peace
p.s if you go with like 1.5 drop you should be cool, prob even spool springs would be good.

looks good...when i look at my car at the same angle you have yours, it is almost the same. Have you looked on the inside of the wheel to look for the offset?? It should be on the back of one of the spokes or center, and have an ET Number. Mine says +48, and yours sure don't look that much different than mine. Just so you know, the Spool springs tend to lower the front a good distance, probably a little more like 2.25 inches, and the back just barely gets to 2" drop. I think you might be okay, close anyway. Good luck..
ok, i got four people and my system in, went for a drive on some back roads and no rubbing. i would say with everyone and the system i had close to if not more than 700 lbs in it. i personally think i should ge good, especially since i dont think i have ever had more than two total people in it at once.

yeah they don't look like they stick out more than mine did before I dropped my car 2"s, and sitll no rub. Although rubbing can probably happen on the inside of the tire well too, on the inside-sidewall of the tire.
be careful trying coilovers too, even the highest height setting sometimes is a 1.5" drop or more.
Maybe it's just me but the Spool Springs sound alot like the Sprint Springs for the Protege. They lower the car the same amount and they are blue. I don't know you be the judge http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm...ension Spring - Performance/Lowering&vaffid=0
