Default Will They Rub?????

I recently put some new ball joints on and got some good calipers installed. So the vibration that I had earlier is almost gone. Now I'm ready to install struts and springs all around. I want to go with the Tanabe springs and KYB struts.

I have 18's on with 235/50/18 tires because I wanted to fill the wheel well and have a comfortable ride.

In reverse with the wheel turned at full lock I get rubbing on the fender liner, it doesn't bother me at all but I am wondering if the tires are going to be too big once I put the springs on.

Will that tire size work? I want to keep them because they have some good tread left. If not then I can change but I want to have a meaty tire so I don't lose too much ride quality.

As always, thanks to everyone that responds....

Yea, 225 45 18 sounds right. I'm running 245 40 18, another correct size, and it doesn't rub, but mine isn't lowered.
