Default Rear fenderwell rubbing with 205's?

Hey guys,

I finally got around to mounting some old 205 tires I had for my 15" LS mesh wheels and mounted them on my EF. I haven't installed my suspension yet, so the car is at stock height. I have noticed that when someone is sitting in the back, or I go over some wavey bumps, I get tire rub with the 205's on the outside of the tires from I believe the fenderwells. I looked on the inside of the tires to see if it was the inside of the fenderwells, but when looking at the car head on, the wheels in general seem to stick out more than they should.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem? i will being going with new 195 tires once I mount the suspension, I guess I just have to live with it for now.

Cheers,
Craig
