Default 16x7 +25 205/50/16 rubbing?

This is the last offest question i will ever ask..
I have TRD springs = aprox.1" drop
I want to know if anybody is running 16x7 with +25 all around and if you have any rubbing in the front.
I searched and one guy said it fit but i'm looking for other oppinions.

I got some 16's on my xA with a 2.2 in drop in the front and they don't rub, so why should yours? Try a smaller size tire!

+25 offset!!! That's why. The tire size is .2 inches larger diameter than stock... that's not what i'm worried about. Don't get all bent outta shape with the flaming smiley face dude.

I checked and the GF1 comes in +42. That's 17mm more tucked in than +25. Plus i'm talking about an xB. I don't know what the clearance difference is between the xA and xB but i'm sure it's not much. I currently run +42 also and it's way too tucked under, which is why i'm going for a lower offset. However i don't want to go so low that the wheel rubs the front fender in a sharp turn.

You will not rub.

I have Tein S-Techs, 16x7 +35 in front and +20 in the rear and I don't rub — not even with a full load of people in the rear seat. You will be fine.

How much is a little? Is it rubbing on turns or just on bumps?

both turns and bumps. However I think it's my Konis causing the problem because it makes my car lowered another 1/2in. I think your setup should be fine. You should consider 205/45/16 to be on the safe side.
