On my car, I am lowered 1.8F, and 1.6R with 16'' wheels and I have pretty much a 2 finger gap all around.

For some reason, I rub when I turn left on the passenger side. It handles and rides great though.

Im lowered around 2.5" f/r (GC coilovers), and 205/40/16. No rubbing with dunlop fm-109 ever. Slight rubbing with BFG Euro TA on the sharpest of turns.
