Default Lowering car on new wheels

Hi Guys
Just got new wheels 18 x 8 +55 front - 225/40/18 and 18 x 9 +65 rear - 255/35/18.
What is the maximum i can lower without any rubbing and with no fender rolling or relocating tabs?
Any suggestions as to which lowering springs I should use?
Thanks a million for any imput

if you want springs the lowest you can go is around 1.5 inch drop on espelir or RSR...but if you want to dump it, you need coilovers. with those offset you should be fine as long as you dont completely drop the car all the way to the ground.
