245\40\18...will it rub?

Hey guys, I'm buying some wheels, they're 18x9 +50 with 245/40/18 tires on them. My TSX is on ff2s and I'm dropped 2"-2.5", do you guys think thus will rub? Will I need spacers and what size of spacer? I do have a camber kit in the rear, not worried about the rear as much as I am on the front...any help would be appreciated!

if it rubs, raise that mother fucker up.

its an experiment.
you're going to have to do whatever it takes for it not to rub, if it rubs.

this means if rolling fenders and cutting the front bumper tab to prevent it from rubbing, so be it.

the term "pay to play" comes to mind.

sorry, let me be a bit more clear, what I mean is, will it clear my coilovers? like will it slap the suspension with the high offset+245 width...I know I can raise it, the fenders are slightly rolled and tabs are cut/removed. I am wondering this because im sure i'll have to get spacers, but it will take some time for them to get to me, but I wanted to rock the wheels before hand. I have 19x8 235/35/19 right now and I had to raise it a bit, I am hoping I will gain a little more clearance with this new set, but wanted to see if anyone here had better knowledge of sizing/clearance than I do.

here is an online offset calculator:
1010TIRES.COM - Wheel Offset Calculator

input stock wheel specs than proposed wheel specs and it will show you how far in the new wheel specs will move

UPDATE** These did rub with the drop I had on my car. I went ahead and purchased new tires, 225/40/18 and I have literally no rub and I dropped my car further 1" all around. Now that my alignment is all jacked up, I am about to buy new toe arms from HeelToeAuto...now if I could just find someone to do the work for me or for cheap lol.
