On the stock suspension you should not have any issues, maybe it will look a little silly, but shouldn't rub anywhere on the guards or the struts.
If you go low on springs maybe get some Whiteline camber bolts to tuck the wheels into the guards better, otherwise open your wallet for a decent set of coilovers. |
but beware that coilovers will not solve the problem of tyres rubbing on the inside...in fact in most cases will exacerbate the problem due to lowering of the spring plates below the tyre allowing the tyre to rub on the spring itself which isn't the case with a standard strut. With coilovers the idea is to use adjustable strut tops to lean the top of the coilover in so you can get suitable negative camber with less negative adjustment at the bottom of the strut....effectively you are moving the top of the tyre away from the strut.
