m45rims on H&R springs...can you put on spacers without rubbing?

so i am gonna swap my springs to H&R so the car sits a lil' bit higher (that way i can put on spacers, and not have issues with the sidewall of the tires touching the fenders. has anyone done this on the new sedans? or does anyone know if i could do this according to plan? thanks!

As you can see in my sig, I have M45 rims w/Eibach springs. I'm running 245/40 tires and have 20mm spacers in front and 25mm spacers in back. The fronts do not rub at all. I have a rear camber kit which straightened out the wheels, which means the rear tires will rub a bit if I have ppl in back AND go over a big bump. No worries though cuz it's fine 99.9% of the time!

* I've been meaning to take some pics but never got around to it. However, now I'm more inclined since I recently installed my front lip. =)

can you PLEASE take pics. it would really help me. if you could take some side profile pics, and then more pics showing how the spacers look, and just tons of pics. cuz i am now also considering eibach pro-kit springs instead of H&R. but we will see.

^ ya jayjay i think the H&R springs dont sit as low as my car does, thus making it easier to put on spacers and not have rubbing issues. what do you think?
