Springs that Dont Rub w/Backseat Passengers

I've been looking for some answers on the first page of the suspension section and everyone seems to avoid the question on if their new drop will rub or not if people are sitting in the back.

Which springs add a nice drop but I can still ride with 4 of my friends without rubbing?

You also have to take into consideration what wheel and tire combination you have / will be using.

Lets just assume the same diameter as the stock wheel. Meaning around 195/55/15, 205/50/15, 205/40/16, 205/45/16. Yes I understand that some are slightly bigger or smaller than the stock 195/55/15. But when in doubt, assume stock.

Okay, assuming stock then I suspect any springs and any drop would work without rubbing. In all likelihood Honda spec'ed the standard tires/wheels to travel through the entire suspension arc without hitting anything except the bump stops.

I have progress springs and they don't rub ...

I have konig heliums 15x6.5 40 offset with 205-50-15 falkens and don't rub. It does rub when I put the Toyo RA1 but it is due to my offset because they used to rub with the stock sprins

I am talking about the back...... no problem what so ever in the front.

+1
stock wheels then no rubbing should occur in rear w/ any springs i'd say
