Did you drop your car? How about shocks did u change them?
After drop'in the car did u get a 4 wheel alignment? If u did drop your car and did not do the rest then I suggest you reevaluate your alignment and the your shocks.

Mine is dropped to no finger gap with 18 by 8 inch tires and 225/40/18's and Bilstein Sport Shocks. I have never rubbed. I would check your allignment. As TP said, every car is different, but we all have the same wheel wells so if yours is dropped the same height with a correct allignment, you should have no problems.
