Default Rear fender mod?

i am purchasing vossen wheels, 20x9 +38 (f) and 20x10.5 +45 (r) I am open to tire size but was figuring on 245/30 and 275/30. My question is regarding springs, I want to lower the car at the same time and like the looks of tanabe. can i use the DF210 without fender shaving? I have 2 nickel sized rust spots on each rear fender and do not think the shaving would be a great idea. I am open to the NF210 or a smaller size tire. Can someone chime in so i can order the right springs. I have searched, and it is kind of vague, especially giving the rust situation. Thanks for the help

My rears are 20x10.5 29+ offset. Rubbed/ Shredded tires like a ***** on 285/30/20, I've switched to 255/30/20 but still rubs on steep drives, + big holes. I'm still on stock height btw, so I'm pretty sure I need a shave when I put my coils on.

You might be able to get away with it since your offset is so high but no guaranties
