I don't think 215 width tires are good for 9.5 width rims, you should look at smth with 245 width at the very least, imho.

As for the OP question - rims with such offset and width are more then likely require fender work, how much of that depends on tires and how low the car is.

To the OP, you should try the X section. You posted in the VIII and IX thread. Teins are no good btw.

Soft spring rates and low ride height is a bad combo...

He posted this question for me.

I heard people go back and forth on teins, but I found some for pretty cheap, so I am planning on upgrading to a different spring later
