Question need some advice on springs

okay... so i bought some tanabe df210's and i think i am going to rub... i have 17x7 wheels with a +43 offset... so should i install the springs? or should i get some other ones with less of a drop... i am looking at the progress springs and i know the difference between them is not significant... but will it be significant enough to where i wont rub... or will i not even rub with the tanabes... lol i know i am rambling... but i am pretty nervous about installing the springs on my car... any input would be highly appreciated... so thank you in advance...

you may rub with the DF's but not the GF's or it might be the other way around but i know one of them has the least drop to it you shuodent run with that offset anything below a 40 and you would but a 43 should be fine you might have a weee little bit of a rub but not much to matter. but again im not sure if its the GF's or the DF's that has the lest of the drop to it i know the NF's are awsome so iv heard has a mild drop like 1" and .8" or somthing with a stock spring rate but i know were not talking about comfort but i thought i would just thro that out there LOL and sorry for any typos im on my LG dare cell phone.

That's a pretty tamed offset so it will really depend on the tire size you run.
