i got mine dropped more then 3 inches and i only get rubbing when the wheel is turning all the way. even then its only a little little bit. u can roll the fenders that'll help. i wouldn't recommend taking out the plastic lining inside of the fender or else u'll get mud and shit all up in the back near the door. dirty dirty dirty.

Not sure about rims yet, is that rubbing damaging your tires?

I'm down ~1.6 or so, on 205/45/16 and I rub rarely, usually when I have a full load and am taking a deep turn.

Im on ground controls, but I think I'm at about 1.6 to 1.8 and I rub barely in hard turns if I hit a hard bump during the turn and I got 17's with 205/40

Running front 1.8 rear 1.6 Neuspeed sports. On 215/40/16 lots of room. My racing tires are 215/45/16, rubs bad on the back side during HARD cornering. Nothing for everyday driving.
