My old Axis and HRE were both having rubbing issue, so I had the fender well shaved and fender rolled. Now with the 1/16 19x10 rear it doesnt' rub at all. At least I hasn't heard anything :p

btw guys, all these are more related to the offset than the width of the rear wheels.

hey frank with the group buy what offsets do we have on those rims. Black centered? Will we rub with 265???????

We are assuming the car is running the optimal offset. At least I am anyway.

The Ps2's have somewhat of a squarish sidewall so rubbing is more likely. Go with something like a Toyo T1S/T1R which has a significantly chopped down sidewall. Majority of people tell me not to run PS2's if you want to lower your car any significant amount where fender clearance might be an issue.
