3/4" Drop with 12/17mm spacers - rub?

Considering Dinan springs which lower 3/4 of an inch. I have 12/17mm spacers installed, any issue with rubbing?

I'm on H&R springs, to my knowledge they have a larger drop than the dinan springs. Running a 10mm upfront and 15mm rear, with 255F/285R. No rubbing issues.

Thanks, that looks really good. Makes me want to pull the trigger on mine. I think 3/4 will be enough for me, especially with a few more mm than yours. Are those wheels 20"?
