Yep, good move! You won't have any trouble with them at all.

LozzyST has my old 20mm spacers on the rear and they don't rub at all.

The only time you might have trouble is if you were lowered a large amount. I was 35mm lower with no trouble and I think people have gone 45mm lower before with no trouble.

I rubbed on the arches once when I hit a huge dip with 3 people in the back.

Are you fitting them yourself?

Yeah, it will look awesome. Your car will remind me of how mine was with 35mm lower (albeit I used Bilstein, are you just springs?) and 20mm rear spacers with standard wheels.

My Comps are so wide now that I don't need the 12.5mm spacers I bought for the rear. I have a brand new set in the shed doing nothing.

springs are more than enough to improve the fiestas handling, you only need coilovers if you do a lot of track or want to be stupidly low
