17x8 et20 with VMaxx Coilovers

Just wondering if 17x8 et20 wheels with 205/45/17 tires will rub with VMaxx coilovers? I know the VMaxx coil overs for the front are much wider than the rear coilovers.

Anyone have set up like this and they can chime in on?

Oh, and its for a 07 cooper s

I dont think they will rub on the coilovers but it will rub on the fender.

215/45 or 205/45?

In our PM conversation I was under the impression it was 205/45.

Neither will rub coilover, but will definately rub fender if you go low enough.
