Default Fender problems when you're lowered

So I know there are many factors involved that could cause fender damage but if I slightly tucked front and rear, with high spring rates (20k + front and rear), with maxed out camber arms front and rear (-7 to -10 all around). Will the chances lower slightly? I'm not planning on going on bags so I want to wing this the first time around without having to get my fenders repaired because of trial and error. I want to make sure I can clear. I know some people will say that most of these aren't necessary because having the perfect amount of camber and the right wheel specs could mean absolutely no rubbing. Ya that's true but I also don't mind the high rates because I'm so used to my current rates 14k so it won't be as bad.

Is there anything else I could do that'll help me not rub. I can't do any fender pulling. And I heard shaving your fenders could make them weak and fragile to rubbing. Also has anyone brought their car to the shop to let them do all of the fitting work? Anything like Street Faction (of SoCal) here in San Jose?
