will i rub with lowered suspension?

i have base 325i no sport and i'm planning to drop my suspension not too extreme, all i wanted is to close the wheel gaps while still attaining stock ride and my wheel set-up is:
18x8.5 et30 front with 225/40/18
18x9.5 et30 rear with 255/35/18
the question is will i rub and what kind of lowering spring is best?
i did but can't come up with the answer i wanted
apologized me for noob question..

Eibach Pro Kit and H&R Sport should be fine, but Im still learning this stuff. Im sure better responses are on their way.

BTW- Welcome from another SD member. There are a bunch of us

you wont rub at all

if you dont want to change your shocks, then go with Eibach Pro Kit or H&R Sport

my tire suggestion would be
front: 225/40-18
rear: 255/35-18

maybe this thread could help you out a bit....

my first hand experience is

19x8.5 et38 235/35/19
19x10 et24 265/30/19

not rubbing with passengers.

and rubbing isnt the end of the world either haha. its easily fixed. but u wont even have to worry about that
