Question Spacers with 22" wheels with lowering springs

I have 22" aftermarket wheels and the H&R springs 2" front drop and I think 1.2 or 1.5 drop in the rear. My question is has any one had 22"s and lowered there car and installed spacers? I am worried that they will stick out too much and rub if I hit a bump. Is this a big concern?

Thanks allot,
Ben

lowered and spacers fitted

Hi i am in England, i have a lowered E70 with 22" wheels and 25mm wheel spacers fitted on the rear, they do not stick out too much, in fact it looks better

Unless your car is as low as the cars in the below pics i'm fairly sure you wont have a problem about rubbing against your guards

how does it ride on the H&R's? I can decide if I want the 2" 1.5" H&R or the Eibach 1.2" all around.

What size tires you running?

this is probably how low youd have to go before any rubbing will occur
