Rubbing will depend on your offset and tire/wheel size. I would just go with ground controls since you can adjust them. And koni yellows

I like having the car low enough to where it fills in the wheel gap. I say just lower the car, drive around and see if it rubs, cause if it does, just simply raise it up a little. Definitely get coilovers so that you can adjust your height
