Default scrubbing issues?

Hey guys, I just got some wheels put on my car and I plan on lowering it next week. I ordered the bilstein/eibach combo for my second gen gs400.

My offsets are +35 on front and back. The wheel size for the front is 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 and the rear is 18x9.5 with 275/35/18. It looks like when I lower it I am going to have some rubbing issues. Does anyone else have this set up? I am concerned that I will have rubbing, and if I do, I dont want to lower it. Im going to upload some pics asap.. i dont know if they will help though

Front


Rear



Any help would be greatly appreciated

How many inches do you plan to lower your car? If you slam your car, it looks like it'll definitely rub.

I plan on doing whatever that combo will lower it. I have been told it was an inch and a half, but I honestly have no idea what it will do to the ride height
