Eibach springs on stock 17" wheels?

Can I use those springs, coupled with appropriate struts, on stock 17" wheels(Style 284)?
Will it rub? Will I need spacers?
(2010 335i xdrive sedan)

Plan is to buy the springs/struts, install them, and then worry about wheels.
This floaty suspension is just bad. Plus road here is under construction. Wouldnt want to wear new wheels on these roads just yet


Anyone got pics???

Yes, you can run Eibach with appropirate shocks (i.e. Bilstein, Koni).
You will not rub.
It's up to you whether you want spacers or not.

Thanks

Did some research and Koni Yellow seems to be the choice for the struts.
Part Numbers "Front Left: 8741-1535LSport, Front Right: 8741-1535RSport, Rear Left/Right: 8240-1236Sport"

I'm looking now to see where I can get the bump stops too. Just so I dont have to trim the ones already in.

Trimming the bumpstops takes 2 minutes with a sharp utility knife.
