i have a 97 3.2 with 18x7.5(alba blaze) with a +42 offset and they don't rub at all. i don't have it dropped but if i did i really don't think i would have any problems. i am not going to drop it because it doesn't even need it considering the wheelgap isn't what everyone said it would be. and they said a +42 was too low.

sorry, i always forget to post that. i have falken 215/40s and i love them. they are not too wide that i worry about rubbing and they have just enough sidewall that it doesn't throw off my gauges too bad and my car still rides great.

My brother has Falkens on his Millenia s. He has 235/17/45s. Before he put the Falkens on he had Z rated Michelins and the car rode horribly. The Falkens are quiet smooth and take potholes extremely well. and best of all they were cheap!
