Tire rubbing with springs and spacers?

Hi,
I installed HR spacers, can't remember the exact ones but what ever was recommended on this forum, I think 7 in the front and 15 in the back. I also read the topics on lowering the car springs only verse coil overs. I think for my purposes which is once a week driving and no racing the springs only will do. Will I get tire rub with Eibach 1" drop springs with the spacers on?
thanks!

No rubbing at all, unless you change to wheels and they have a different offset

thanks Northvan,
did you doo these two mods together? Looking for someone who actually did them, I had a 2004 Infinity FX45 that I lowered and put spacers and cut up my tires, 1300.00 mistake! ouch .
BTW I also have a 2006 C2S with stock rims.
Thanks

I have my car lowed with CO's and 7 mm spacers in the Front and 15 mm in the rear. I have never rubbed, even under hard cornering on the track.

Thanks NorthVan!
I contacted Mike at AWE and he said the same thing, looking into HRs or Eibachs now. Concerned about the continued sagging people keep talking about on the HRs but not sure which way to go. Thank again!
