Ok, everyone said this setup is fine with an eibach sportline spring drop (1.5") I just got the first wheel on and it sticks out as far as the fender. I'm scared to drive it. Can anyone else tell me if it should hit my fender?

I did some driving. I'm very surprised it doesnt rub. Soooo close though. Also had an alignment today. Rear needs a camber kit so thats next on my "to do" list.
