depends on offset of rims + width etc
my inovits are et42 running 215/35/18's - so 8mm from perfect on a classic (50 is perfect iirc?) im lowered on whiteline flat out springs rated at 40-50mm and it rubs on bad bumps.
im having my arches pulled/rolled by archenemy.co.uk to help out. you shouldnt have to change springs.

no it wont raise mate it will sit different
48's should be fine, you shouldnt have a problem but if you do, be easier and cheaper to have your arch rolle..depending on where they rub.

I posted a tread on here about a month ago asking will 18s rub or not been lowered, many told me thats why there is so many 18s for imprezas for sale as they rub, but other were saying they are lowered 60mm and no rubs even with 4 up i'm not sure how true this is though

I will use this as my example I had a E36 M3 with bilstein (yellow) shocks and the eibach pro kit
the springs lowered the car iirc front 25 rear 15mm but the design of the bilstein shocks actually raised the car by a couple of mm and that was on 17 inch wheels I then put on 19's and I had no rubbing.
but kept the rolling radius the same
Obviously each application is different but its worth asking the designers of the springs shocks and doing a bit of simple maths to see how low you car should sit on std wheels then allowing for the bigger wheels.
You should deffo look into the std offset for your car and find out what is the best ofset for 18's
I asked Cvc subaru in cardiff if I wanted to fit 18's with no rubbing, what size tyres would I need and the reply was 205/35/18 but once again it depends on the offset.
hope this helps
