planning on pumping &/or rolling guards? Just take it to no gap between tyre and guard, get them rolled and you should be ok, will prolly get some scrubbing but not to bad.

what offset are the wheels?
without knowing this there's no telling whether it'll scrub or not

this is my mates car with compressed springs when he first done it, but it sagged alot and is almost sitting on the floor now, he scrubs with 17' wheels, so i recomend getting the guards rolled
