Default Is Anyone Running 215 or Wider Tires on Their EG?

Traction is a problem. Anyone running 215 or wider tires on their EG's with a mild drop, like under 2''? How's the rubbing? What's the best wheel offset for a wider tire?

i refuse to run bigger then 205's. i've got 15's on mine, and even with my rolled fenders, my front rubs in certian turns. i'm running 205/50/15 maybe a lower sidewall, but still rubs and i haven't corrected my camber with a kit since the drop... (which was a bit more then 2") so take that into some consideration.
