Default 255's rubbing?

So I bought new Falken Azenis 615's in 255/40/17 for my 17x8.5 NSX wheels. I've ready that I won't have any rubbing issues unless i drop the car. Does that mean, any drop (like an Espelir ASD, which is what i planned on doign) will cause my rear to rub? Should I have gone with 245s?

rubbing all depends on offset. I dont remember what the offset on the nsx wheel is but when the car is lowered, it automatically camber the wheels inwards. if the offset is off it will more likely rub but rolling the fender will help

i believe espelirs are a 1.5-1.75 drop right? i'm guessing that will rub? if i run a -1.5 to -2 degree camber on the rear, do you think i'll be safe from rubbing?

offsets are high enough that you will not rub.
