Default Will 16" rims rub?

Random question for everyone running 16" rims - Do you have any rubbing issues?

This is my current set-up: Lowered 2.5 inches using H&R springs.

The rims in question would be 16x7 with +38 offset wrapped in 205/45/16 rubber.

Anyone running a similar set-up?

I had a similar set-up and the tires rubbed. Not real bad, but they would rub especially if I had someone else in the car or I took a turn too fast. I had Tokico springs that dropped my car about 1.5".

shouldnt rub, i have 17s and the back is dropped as far as it will go and it doesnt rub, as for the front, its lifted enough so the front doesnt scrape on everything and thats enough to clear the tires

with a +38 offset i imagine it will... i have 15x7's w/ a +42 offset and about a 2" drop. I had to roll the inner lip so the tires wouldnt rub... you may be able to get away with this too
