I think you have the same wheels as me. What size spacers / tyres are you running?

Hrrm ok, they looked a bit beefier than mine but I guess thats because of the larger profile. Im running 215/45/16, 12mm spacer in front to clear coil overs, no spacer in rear. heaps of room / no rubbing.

Yeah its that 20mm on the rear that makes it look flush. I went 195 for a little stretch look just to keep them hellaflushkids happy..

If i was running a 45 profile, the rubbing wouldn't be so bad i think. Had plenty of room before spacers.
