Will the following setup RUB (w/ 5mm spacers)?....

Kosei K1 16x7.5 43mm offset with Yokos ES100 (205/50/16)..

The above setup is already on my MCS with H-Sport Springs. From the look of it, it seems like I further bring out the wheels with 5mm spacers..

Has anyone on the board attempted to do this? and experienced any rubbing? Thanks in advance for your input.

It doesn't seem like it would rub with 16x7.5 and 205 tires... maybe if they were 17x7.5 with 215's... but I don't think it will rub with that setup, even with H-Sport springs.. anyone else have any idea?

spacers

just went to exchange the 5 to the 3mm spacer and already installed on the mini. Looks good so far with a bit more of an aggressive look but will know soon enough if there is any rubbing. Thanks guys
