BFH and you'll be fine. You can have +69mm with BFH while lowered and still be rub free.

remember if you go with spacers you will probably need longer studs too

a friend of mine was going to sell me a set of those for $100 for my 93 but the rear wheels hit the bump stops. you might need just a small spacer to clear it.
