what are the specs on the rims? cant determine if they will rub...only by knowing the diameter.

i also had the super 7s with stechs. you will get the slightest bit of rubbing on the fender liner but nothing to worry about. it won't hurt anything

I don't know, man... he might rub. I'm only on 17's and I rub on any mid-sized dips at +40mph. Is it because I'm on an 8" wide wheel at +35? :shrug: I'm not much of an expert on fitments yet, but I think he might rub on some dips.

if he rubs it is only going to be a little bit and wont hurt anything. the TRD wheels have the same specs as the enkei super 7s so he will be fine.

you'll be fine. like others said, you will get slight rub but usually only when you make fast tight turns.

im sitting on 18x7.5 with stock offset and h-techs. thats the only time i rub. and its only on the fender lining.

you're on stock offset if the trd are the same as super 7. if you go with aftermarket rims and go with offsets that set flush with the fender then you gotta worry about the edge of the fender cutting into the tire. in that case roll your fender. in extreme cases you gotta pull your fenders out.
