On the track id expect the above setup to rub significantly on the front.
As a precursor I should note this is conservative compared to the setup I was running previously. Per the initial post the car has KW Clubsport coilover and camber plates installed, providing a high degree of alignment adjustability. The alignment and ride height has been well tuned by my local Bimmer shop - in six track days (Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, Sears Point [Sonoma]) my car has yet to rub front or back. No issue on canyon roads either.

What size tires and how low is your car?
