45 offset and rubbing?

Hey everyone, hopefully this weekend im buying intermilano RG6's for my car, they came up DIRT cheap in the local buysell. But i was wondering if a 45 offset will rub? i know its cutting it close, but i was thinking it probably wont rub, cause im only lowered 1.3" front/rear on H&R sports. Also, how much rubber do u think ill have room for? i would like 215/50's or 215/45's but will they rub? maybe 205/50's or 205/45's would be smarter? let me know ur opinions.



GEtting these rims in silver, then painting them flat black.

I had beefy 225/40s on my 18s (42 offset). I also had a 1" drop from Eibach springs. I could turn the steering wheel full both ways like normal. No spacers needed.
The only rubbing I got was when there's a dip or bump in the road. it would scrape that inside lip of the fenders, but it went away after I 'rolled the fenders' a little.


Anyway it's up to you, whether you want more contact to the ground or more sidewall. I went 225 cause the road quality in my area is worse than a nerd's face during puberty. Figured it would help the rims a little bit.
