H&R Springs question

I'm wondering If I'm going to have any issues installing the H&R Springs w/ 20mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear. Any thoughts? does anyone have that

The front wheels may rub the plastic thing in the wheel well. Only happens on the highway where the new pavement is higher than the old. I've never bottomed out and haven't scrapped the lip with my h&r. I was in a tiny parking garage In downtown Seattle with really steep ramps this weekend and surprised I didn't scrape the lip.

It rubs that little plastic part that hides the nut that holds the bumper and fender together. Nothing major, plastic hasn't worn through yet, have maybe 2k miles on h&r.

I have stock wheels and I'm happy with 20 mm spacers. I think the rear tires stick out a tiny bit though. If you want to be really flush you could get 25 mm for the fronts. But it doesn't bother me that the fronts are slightly tucked in.
