whats the tire size? offset? -- so they shouldnt. ive got 18's w/215/35 i belive and they dont rub. when you say the feel weird.. it's probably because there is more tire on the ground (each is wider)

It depends on the offset of the wheel.

I have camber and I had to roll the rear fender lips because I'm running an 8.5 inch wide wheel in back.

i think it may be noise from the tires, they have a crazy tread pattern, guess after i drop it it will feel better, it looks weak not dropped, good thing teins are coming tomorrow

DF210's on 18x7.5 with a 40+ offset wrapped in 215/35-18's. No rubbing at all. But there is VERY LITTLE clearance in the rear between the rim lip and the rear suspension beams. Looks like a few thousandths of an inch from touching!
