Default Will This Work?

I have searched all day for an answer to this, but I'm not finding anything. Seen plenty of pics but no explanation to any problems incurred.

Car:'07 AP2. I am running Volk LE28n's 17x9/17x8 with the correct offsets (63mm/forgot the front....) 225-45 front and 255-40 rear. I just bought some used Tein S-Tech springs on Koni yellows. The springs are on the lower setting on the shocks which is supposedly 3/8" lower than stock. I have been trying to figure out if I need to move the perch up to the factory notch to prevent rubbing. I will not add more negative camber and prefer not to roll the fenders.
Oh- I am also using CR sway bars which should help prevent twisting over uneven pavement (driveways) but I know it won't completely eliminate pushing a tire deep into the wheel well.
Has anyone had any experience with this set-up or something similar?

Thanks in advance for any input.

The offsets pretty high you should be fine. I run 18X9.5 +55 in the rear with no problems with a 255 rear

Dropped? I'm looking at a minimum of 1.5" and right at 2" on the lower perch where the springs are now...

You should be fine with those offsets and that drop. Im sure someone is running a setup close to what you want to run, might take a day or two for them to reply but someone should

You'll be fine. I ran 255/40/17 and 235/40/17 on a similar suspension setup for a short period of time-- no problems.
