What are you talking about ?
First of all, you need a rim with at least a 45mm offset. Greater than 45mm is ideal... The stock rims are 55mm offset. I know peeps with close to 50mm offset and 225 width tire that doesn't run on the inside... rubbing on the outside is the most predominant problem...
The increased negative camber will help tuck at the top, but increased negative camber will kill your tires...
The only time the size of the overall diameter of the tire/wheel combo affects the rubbing is when the drop isn't that severe and you have an offset less than 45mm rims, then you might be able to get away with it, but when you have 3 heavy ass adults in the back, then it's gonna rub either way...
I should know, I'm dumped 3+ inches all around on teins, and my CP35s have an offset of 40mm... and I just barely rub...
