Hmmm... if your present wheels rub the fender lips, then I don't think the 
shocks will help. Your wheel offset maybe wrong. From what I've seen, you 
have to drop your car pretty low to get the wheel/fender rub you are 
describing.And from the sound of it, you only have stock suspension set up?? 
Your offset is off.... by alot. Go to your wheel/tire place and get the 
rubbing fixed first before you lower your car.
