they will rub if the lip is outside the fender......if you are lowered , they will rub even more..............he's right, you gotta look at the offset and the lip...........

whoa. you're telling how
the rims are and you don't
even have them?


i'm running the 15x8 +0's
with 205/50/15 tires. on coils
with a 2 1/2" drop and rub on
bumps/dips. when there's passengers
in the rear...better turn up your music loud.



i started to roll my fenders today.
not sure how much it helped but it's something.

even if they were completely flat,
they stick out the fender, so neg. camber
should be the next thing.

i won't say you're screwed

you'll see from there.

Here is the deal, if you wanna run these wheels you have to realize that youll have to make sacrifices. Some people just ride around rubbing all day and some modify their suspension and fenders to make it work.

With a simple 1 inch TRD drop you wont rub much, but when you go up driveways at an angle and things like that it will rub.

^^^ true

and in my opinion,
the wheels won't look that
great with stock height or a 1" drop.

i should be at 2 1/2",
and still look high for me.
changes the look a lot.

You'll love em when you get them in gold. I have a set but still waiting to put everything on. They're just sitting in my bedroom for now. They're nice and clean though. Didn't like em at first, but hey my girl wanted them plus its her xB.
