On H&R Sport springs... you should be okay in the front, but you'll probably rub in the back.
If that happens, then cut the tabs first. If it still rubs, then roll the fenders.
I have the same setup on my car... 18x7.5 42 offset. Lowered to a one-finger gap on Tein SS and I had to cut the tabs and roll the fenders because it rubbed so bad. In the front, I had to cut the fender liner and tuck it above the fenders to extra clearance.

Depending on the severity of rubbing, you may have to cut down along the line of the bumper, in addition to cutting the tabs. That's what I had to do.
Cut the tabs first, then drive around for a bit. If it keeps rubbing, then you will see where it is rubbing because the plastic will have rubbed away in that spot. Cut that, and drive again to see if it keeps rubbing, so on and so forth.
