The suspension travel is the same down to the bumpstop even if the car is lowered or not. Some show cars change the bumpstops to limit suspension travel to allow huge wheels, but that is not supposed to be approved for road use. If you raise your car and drive very carefully, you will perhaps not notice that the wheels/tires can rub, but they sure can if it rubs when it is lowered.
