none of the big spring brands will pose a threat to you as long as you have a good panhard bar in place to keep that rear end from moving around and hitting the fender well.

so:

1. get any brand spring and shock
2. get PHB
3. Profit

I'm on an eibach pro-kit (about 2" drop) and am on 17x9.5s (275/40) all the way around and no issues whatsoever. I'd say you'll be just fine with whatever spring you choose.
