Default Another 'Will it fit?'

Im running the tenzo-r dc-5's, they're 225/40/18's, not exactly sure of the offset to be honest. where my problem presents itself is that i am planning on installing my tein s-tech springs this weekend and am wondering if they will drop my car too much to where my tires will rub. i have been searching this problem for the past few days and havnt been able to find what im looking for. can someone help me?

heres some pics of how they are now...

I'm guessing they are the +45 offset. If you dial in camber (1.5-2*), you should be good in the rear, but the front will more than likely need a roll. Dropping down to a 215 up front will help.

The wheels are 8" wide all the way around, will i be able to run 215's in the front and still be able to have enough tire to cover the wheel.
