Will I rub with 215-40-18 lowered?

Hi! I've already searched but haven't really found the exact answer I was looking for... This is was I have... I have a 01 Civic Si(EX) Coupe. I have 215-40-18 Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires on my 18" 5Zigen Imperio S-08... They're 7.5" wide... But haven't put them on my car yet... I lowered my car with Ground Control coilovers sleeves and still using my stock struts/shocks and no camber kit. I lowered the front almost all the way and my back is a little over half way... So my front has about a pinky gap, and my back is a little tucked with my stock 15's...

So my question is, will I rub at all with the set up I have or should I raise my car a little? Thank you!

EDIT: BTW, my rims offset is 43...
