    It may rub, it may not.


    That completey and 100% depends on wheel offset and what tire size you want to run. The lower the offset, the better chance at rubbing. If you are going to run a 18in rim, you want to stick with the tire size of 245/45/18 to keep the roughly the same rolling diameter as stock to keep the speedo in check. You cold go shorter in sidewall but then it will look stupid.
