It will almost primarily depend on what offset on the wheels you are running and the width of the wheels. I'm riding on GC/Koni setup dropped to about where race springs would drop (in the rear that is), 15x7 +45mm wheels and 205/50/15 ES100 and no rubbing, you will probably rub if you have +38 wheels but a little fender rolling will do, the rears will rub more on the fender lip than the front.

depends on offset as mentioned. The drop alone will not make them rub.

drop alone will not make ti rub it's the rims. I had wide rims with 205/50/15 and they did rub but if i used say a SI 15" i do't think it would have rub so it's the rims
