I rub mainly due to 200 lbs of stereo install. Even then only with people in the back and over a half tank of gas on undulating roads (thing is, all of those are usually happening at the same time with my car). I'm going to reshape the fenders this summer before I paint the car, which should take care of the rubbing completely. The aggressive look was what I was going for and I'm quite happy with the way they look on the car. The difference in the twisties between the 205s I ran and these fairly tame Continental (long life tire more than performance rubber) 225s is pretty noticeable too. These wheels came off an SVT Focus, and he had no rubbing issues (no stereo or back seat passengers)
In the winter I'll be going back to something much skinnier, 195 or less assuming I can find a 6"x15" wheel that will bolt up. Just have to sell the stock 16 wheels first.
