I had 18x7.5's on last summer and was lowered 2" and I had no rubbing problems at all. You will be fine. Here is a pic of what mine looked like clearance wise:

But the install is just time consuming if you know what to do. If you have air tools... it will go by twice as fast. normal install time w/out air tools is about 3-4 hours.
