I thinking about getting that setup but I want to know if it will rub on stock suspension and if i must roll my fenders or not. Thanks.

I have that exact setup on my car. 225/40/18 Toyo Proxes 4 with 18x7.5 +45 offset Motegi FF7 Rims. I am running on stock suspension right now and drive my car very hard. Never once has it rubbed. I bought the Tein S-Tech springs and plan on installing them in the spring. Hopefully it still wont rub when I do that.

My car did rub a bit when I did hard corner b4. But my car has eibach on it. So, Stock suspension will be fine.

I run that setup. Stock springs you will be fine, lower it and you will rub. I had to take mine off yesterday after I about sliced a tire.
