Will they rub???? 215/45/17

Does anyone have 215/45/17 with H-sport springs?

I currently have BFG KDW2's in 215/40/17 and I am thinking of trying 215/45/17 but need to know how much trimming I'm going to have to do I hope none but I just don't know.

Also anyone try the Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires????

Longboard

I think it depends on the offset of your wheels.
