Koni + Tein and gigantic tires

Hello guys,

I got a set of Dunlop SP Sport Maxx XL last summer from the tirerack but in 45 (found a killer deal on them, 135$ each, way cheaper than the 40s back then)
So I was wondering if a set of Koni SA with S-tech might give create some wheel rub?
If the S-techs do make the tires rubs, would the H-techs be ok then?

I know there was some bottoming out issue with the Konis paired with the S-techs, how frequent is it? and where I live we get a lot of snow, even though I don't take the 8 out all that much in the winter, I still do once in a while, would the S-techs make the car way too low?

Yes I will track the car. No autoX though. Has anyone driven both the S-techs and H-techs and wouldn't mind comparing? day or night or very small difference between the two?

Thanks a lot. (and yes I've used the search function )
