Scrape how and what? Or do you mean rubbing of the tires? It depends on the driving conditions, how you drive, your rim width and offset, tire size, etc. If you could be more specific with your question, that would help us answer it better.

i would assume bottoming out? like puppetmaster said it really depends how you drive and the conditions but with the stock rims you shouldn't rub in the wheel wells unless there's a lot of weight...ide say your good

mike i have sprints with illuminas and those are about as low as springs will go minus putting on coilovers. I also have the rears spaced out about 12mm on each side and i dont rub on turns, bumps or anything. Oh the spints are a 2" drop as well

mike, some things to think of after or before. Once you lower the max the rear will need to be recentered. there are a few posts that go in depth on it. Mine didnt "recenter" but it did take the bind out of the axle bushing. Once that is done then just measure the distance from the tire to the fender and take that number and subtract 2-3 mm out of it and then thats the size spacer to get.
