A important area to check for rubbing is not only the fender lip but also the inside wheel well when turning HARD right or left. When you get to the limits of size, your chances of rubbing are increased greatly. I currently have 225 and 255 front back on aftermarket wheel with no problems. When I mounted track tires on my Fuchs 16" 225 and 245, the fronts left a nice groove in the inside wheel after a 2 day DE event. After complaining to TireRack, they are taking the fronts back, (after about 5 calls!) and I am going to 205. Track tires have a much wider flater tread which was the problem and the factory Fuchs aren't offset enough to handle bigger sizes like the Fikse,(they put more tire towards the outside lip). Moral, talk to others who have your car and have gone bigger. Don't trust a guy on the phone to be absoulutly correct. In the end TireRack was fair about the whole thing and I will continue using them.
