Default Will I be rubbing? 17x8+44 all around

I currently have 17x8+44 wheels all around.
I have 215/45/17 in the front and 245/40/17 in the rear.
I have -1.5 camber in the front and -2.4 in the rear I believe. I am not rolled or anything.
I have Eibach Pro Kit right now so dropped it like 1-1.2 or so inches I guess.
I am looking to buy the Koni Yellow shocks locally hopefully this weekend.
I would like less wheel gap so was thinking of putting them on the lower perch. Would have to roll the fenders or anything? I have rubbed as they are now slightly before but only on huge dips in the road.
The fronts are lower than rears right now cause of how the Eibach Pro Kit is. Looks like the front would be tucked a little bit on lower perch. Will these rub and if so what has to be done so they wont?

I mean...thats a pretty conservative offset. Depending on the height, minimal rubbing may occur. A light roll all around would take care of it though. I would just do that to be safe. Then you can go as low as you like Again depending on the height, the rear bumper tabs may need to be trimmed as well. Its pretty much all depending on the height. But def an easy fix.

Yeah well the Eibachs give it according to them a 1" drop all around. However from having them on the fronts are definitely dropped more than the rear with them. Front I can just fit 1 finger in and rear 2 about. So the Koni shocks should lower it I was told .5-.75" more on the lower perch. I would think on a stiffer setting though would have less bounce or dip than the oem shocks so maybe wouldn't rub cause of that.
I do have some neg camber, not a ton but over 2 in the rear and over 1 in the front so hopefully will be ok.
The fronts have to be pulled though right? Or can they also be rolled a little bit?
Thanks for the help man!
