Default Question about spoon springs

I just got a set of spoon springs, cant wait to get them on the car. Currently im running Enkei rpf1's 16x7 with +43 offset wraped in 205-55-16 azenis. Im planning on buying new tires soon i was gonna go with some 205-45-16's. Does anyone know about rubbing issues with the tires that are currently on my car now. I realy want to put these springs on but i think they will rub becuase of my tires . All info is appreciated thanks.

They may rub in the front if you lock the steering wheel fully in either left or right. I'm guessing that if they are going to rub it is going to be the vertical part of the wheel well that seperates the engine bay from the wheel well.

Off the top of my head I think my stock 16" tires are 215/45/16. It's tough to say...your tire is a little narrower right now, but the side wall is significantly taller.

They are some big f@*$ing tires haha but they get some traction. I could get by with just rubbing when the steering wheel is at full lock .
