Once you change out from stock struts, guessing on rubbing is pretty dicy. But with the narrower strut bodies and spring perches, you can usually get more camber which is what enables us autocross/track types to get more tire under the car than average Joes. Spring stiffness doesn't matter- unless it's so ridiculously stiff that you can't hit the bumpstops on a severe bump with heavy loads in the car. And if not, you're too stiff or too high or you have really weird struts. Anyway, with enough camber, just about any Subaru can run 235/40s on 17x8 wheels with minimal fender work. Just peeling the lip guard thingy off is usually enough.
