From this, you can now determine how much more gap you want removed by the lowering spring as I assume you don't want to go with the coil-over route. With two people in the car, a one inch drop would leave .4 - .6 inch fender gap (depending on their weight  ) which should look good already. Since your wheels are 18x8 the offset would probably be conservative (in the 40's) so you should not have any fender rubbing issues even when lowered but you will have clearance issues (steep driveways, high humps, etc.) when you drop it >=1.5 inches especially with a heavy passenger.
