i dont have either of these, but to be honest there is a yes and know answer to this,

no one can answer this for you!, if they rub or not will all depend on the offset of the rims you own and how wide of tires is on the rims,

do you know the offset of your rims?? this is going to play the largest factor,

if they do rub then you will need to purchase some spacers or diff rim/tire combo.

Same, here. I put a whole new suspension on my car. While test the suspension came to notice that the tires rub the suspension and they got cut. My sugestion will be to make the stubs longers for both from and back cuz the back suspension only has a 1" clearence from the chasis. That's what i'm going to do with my 7. My suspension is a tokico hp struts and tein springs.

AGX/Eibach on 18X7.5 with a +48 offset and 215/40 tires. (I know, it shouldn't fit, but it does!)
