very little, there is 1 dip on my commute that will rub 4 out of 5 days, i am amazed at how good the clearance is.

basically no rubbing. full lock u turns no problem, bumpy roads fine, hard turns no issues. 4 heavy passengers and 3 suitcases, a little rubbing in the back right just on inside of plastic bumper, just trimmed it down
