I just took a cursory look at my car and I agree there isn't much room
between the rear fender wheel well lip and the 14x6 zero offset
wheel. However, it looks like the car doesn't travel enough to make the
lip of the fender fall below the wheel so I don't know how much of a
problem this would actually be. My 195/60/14 tires don't rub at all. I've
got stock springs, urethane bushings and the KYB GasAdjust shocks, if any
of that makes a difference.
