Default Will I have rubbing issues?

so i was recommened to bring my car to american tires off brokaw to have my wheels mounted and balanced.

i'm wondering if i will have any rubbing issues with my new 18's. i'm lowered with about a 2 finger gap all around right now. i highly doubt the shop will adjust my coils for me if it's too low.

also, how much does it typically cost to mount and balance wheels to the tire and put on the car?

auto innovations quoted me 2 different prices both over $800 for everything. i can probably get the tires alone for about $600.

Need offsets on the wheels and tire sizes to help you just like Cyberous said.

Cyberous is running too think of tires. You can get away with wider in the rear.

As long as your above +45 offset you should be ok.... i'm not too sure about your 265 rear tires though, i think your good.
