It all depends on your setup! For Instance:

Tire width
Negative Camber
Whether or not your fender's are rolled
Your drop (which your on H-techs)

More than likely you will have to stretch a tire to keep from rubbing. But all depends on what you do to the car.

Pretty sure even with the offset on those the width will get you very close to the fender and even with Htechs you may get soem rubbs on bumps,probably need to run stretched a bit,which will look great too to make it work with out dropping in some camber.

one thing you might look into is that even with a rolled fender on the rear, the plastic part of the bumper on the lower rear portion is the one that rubs major.. i only have 225s on the rear and I rub those. With those grids you might be running around 235 or 245 for them to look bad____
