Post Am I safe?

I am running SSR Integrals 17 x 7 with 45mm offset, 215/50-17 tires. The Comptech springs are set to go on this week.

My question. My wheels stick out a bit more than stock - has anyone with a similar offset/size had any rubbing on the rear fender lips?

Or am I just being paranoid?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ah...just what I wanted to ask. I've heard of many sizes like 17x7 or 18x7.5 where the first digit means the diameter of the wheel without rubber and the second being the thickness both measuring in inches. What I never understood was, what is the offset measuring? Or better yet, what is an offset?
