Default Rubbing?

So, I lowered my eg a little more and you can only see about half, or a little less, of my tire. I only rub when I make u-turns. Is that normal or not? And I have 15's wrapped with 195/50

I don't know the offset, cause the wheels were included when I bought the car. They're just some Rota Circuit 8's

Do not remove your fender liner you will have nothing but problems from doing this.

All of my cars have been low enough to warrent doing this and I have yet to have a problem. Just take care of your car and clean your fenderwells out once in awhile( should anyway to keep suspension clean) and it will be just fine.

Is this for me to answer? If it is, I only rub when I make u-turns.
