those wheels will always rub. They are a 0 offset. Anyone who says the dont rub is either lying or doesnt drive the car on any surface but completely smooth roads.

yeah they will always rub with 2+ drop and stock fenders. get custom fender flares made it'll be very expensive but rubbing will be gone and the car will look much better with the wheels and tires not sticking out past the fenders.

flush is what you want not sticking out past the fenders.

Itll rub given the right circumstances. His chances will be much slimmer with TRD springs but my Works rubbed in the rear when I entered steep driveway entrances at an angle from the street with a +10 offset and 195/55s.

I know its not your car but rocking an xB with low offset rims on anything less than a 2.5" drop is completely pointless to me. He may as well be driving a lifted Wrangler. Just my .02.
