Do your Sportlines with 17"/18" rims scrape?

Anyone have a problem with this (or not)?

I want to lower my '91, but I'm concerned that springs that offer only a 1" drop won't give me the look I want (could I be wrong?). I'm going with Tokico 5-ways and am considering Eibach Sportlines (1.6" drop). For now, I'm sticking with the OEM rims, but when I switch to 17" or 18" rims, will scraping be a problem?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's what the dude in the shop told me - the right offset should preclude any scraping.

He also tried to turn me on to the Tein S.Tech springs (instead of the Eibach Sportlines). The S.Techs drop the rear a bit lower that the front (1.7" vs. 1.5"). I'm wondering how that might look. Plus, I need to weigh the linear vs. progressive arguement. Decisions...
