Default Will it Rub

Will 16x7 Rota Sub-Zeros with 205/45-16's rub on my DA which is lowered about 2-3" on non-adjustable coilovers?

It doesn't look like you're lowered too much, but whether or not you will rub your tires also depends on the offset of the wheel. So the offset of your Subzero's is?

I'm going to say it will rub but it's a questionable yes.

My DA is lowered about 3 inches on ground controls sitting on 205/45/16 tires/ Rota grids (same offset as the subzeros)

So far I havent rubbed during normal driving but when Im pulling out of my steep driveway with my front drivers side wheel turned all the way to the right, it rubs slightly... I can deal with it

Yeah, my drivers side tire rubs one of the screw heads that holds down the plastic fender lining... I havent scraped at all but Ive came very close a few times.

Did you go with custom rates for your GC's. I paired them up with Koni Yellows and personally I feel they are too soft. Im looking into buying a pair of Ground Control top hats up front for some extra travel.
