I have 18's and running on S-Techs. I rub on some more abrupt hills or potholes but other than that, ordinary driving doesn't pose a problem. The springs are a bit on the soft side once you've properly broken them in and once they've settled. If you don't rub at first when you first put the springs on, you will eventually. Go with the H-techs if you want barely any rubbing with 18's. whether or not it rubs against the fender, you need to figure out your offset, if anything, when you get it aligned after you're dropped, tell them to put a little negative camber in the rear wheels if you have an offset that pushes the wheels farther out.
