Default How low on Bilstein Pss9's

I've done a ton of searching, but cannot find a solid answer. I love the reviews I'm reading on them but have yet to find out if they will go low enough for my MY07. I'm looking at 17x9+45 RPf1's. I know it's a common setup, but want to lower the car but not SLAM it. I'm not a hellaflush guy, just want a square setup with some low maybe around 1 finger gap.
Does anyone have pics of Bilstein's MAXED out? I've seen pics of people saying they have a small gap but not maxed. I'm also looking to keep the helper springs on.
Thanks!
Drob

1 finger gap is no problem with the helper springs installed. This is a 1 finger gap and they can go lower if you want to.

So essentially you're telling me as long as i'm not slamming it, i should be able to go low enough? I don't want to tuck, just not be a 4x4. My last car I had the wheels sitting perfectly in the well.
