Default Kosei K1s in 15x7"...any rubbing?

Hey,

Do any of you guys know if the Kosei K1 Racing rims in 15x7" on a 195/15/55 or 205/15/50 tire will rub on an eg with say, a 2 inch drop? I tried a search but it seems to be broken lately...

I run 205/50s on my K1 (15x7 38off) EG without any rubbing. ...but that's with sensible lowering (about 1-2 finger gap), I'm not sure if it'll rub with a 4" drop.

Will the 195/15/50s be alright with a 7 inch wide wheel like that?

My 15x7's with 38 offset k1's with 205/50 15 Hoosier r3s03's(measure more like a 225) only rubbed if I hit the curbs hard at the track. My hatch is plenty low. On street 205/50's you'll be more than fine. 195/50 15's look anemic.

I have the 15x7" Kosei K1 in 45mm offset and the inner lip of the wheel hit the rear upper control arm which I fixed by filing it down and buying a 3mm spacer. I have 205/50x15" Azenis tires.
