No, I don't rub at all. My last tires/wheels were 215/40/17 w/17x7.5 and a +38mm offset and I had plenty of clearnace. This new setup pushes the wheel in even farther with a +42mm offset. I could have easily gone with 225/35/18's and still have been ok. The reason I finally decided to go with 215/35 was because it was the closest size to the stock setup.

I've got a 1.8 front/1.5 rear drop with Neuspeed Sport springs.

I went with 35's to keep an accurate reading on my speedometer. I didn't want to make my car slower, either. It definitely feels a little quicker out of the gate with the lighter wheels. Had I gone with a bigger profile tire (40), I don't think I would have noticed any difference, unless it would have been slower, which I think would have been the case.
