Default rear suspension ?

yep, they will definitely rub as it sits now. well first try rolling the inner fender well lip. it may be all you need to do. i wouldnt beat on it though, just cause that is good way to crack your paint.
if you still have your stock springs, you could cut a coil off of them and put them back in your car

Get some BMR's they only lower 1" which is why I got them. Have 315s also and no rubbing so far.
