4S bbs rims on carrera 2

I am running Michelin pilot sport cup 2 tires on a set of BBS carrera 4S 18 inch wheels for Autocross. The suspension is stock and the rear tires don’t rub, but I was asked if I was running spacers on the rear since the offset on the rear wheels is greater than the normal and stick out further.

My question is do you think the tires would rub if I installed the BILSTEIN B16 suspension kit which lowers the car height by 1 inch at minimum?

My regular wheels are 18 inch Fuchs,

If you're lowering your car's height by an inch or more with a suspension kit, there is a possibility that your tires could rub against the fenders or other parts of the car's body.
This can happen if the new suspension setup changes the car's ride height and alignment enough to put the tires in contact with parts of the car that they weren't touching before. It can also happen if you're running tires that are too wide or have too much sidewall bulge for the new ride height.
To get a more accurate answer, you could try consulting the manufacturer of the suspension kit or a professional mechanic who has experience with your car's make and model. They may be able to give you specific recommendations for tire and wheel size and offset that will work with the new suspension setup without causing rubbing or other clearance issues.
