oofrost, i have a car with no drop and i get rubbing sometimes....it only happens when i have people in the back or a lot of luggage and i hit a big bump but nonetheless, it does happen. i'm on 17" with 215/45-17 tires...i think the offset on my wheel is too low and thats the reason it does that. my rims are flush with the side of the car so if i hit a bump, the outer edge of the tire catches the fender. i'm gonna roll them soon. a guy at a local shop told me it is because my rims are 8" wide which means i needed a higher offset in order to have them tuck properly. oh well, i'll get the right ones when i get rims again in the next year. mine are OLD (45K+ miles).

I think that having the tires stick out a little like that actually helped the appearance of my non-dropped car. I was always getting compliments, and the only thing I had was rims. Gives the car a more sportier aggressive look or something i think.

Sorry this post was off topic.
