Most dont rub because they buy rims with the correct offsets. A few did not and they rub. What are the offset on the wheels you are looking to buy?

Tire sizes are an important factor as well.

Buy the right wheels, tires, and springs for your car and you won't have problems. If you buy G35 or 350Z springs, wheels with the wrong offsets for the car, or tires too wide, you will rub.

I have 20" Volk GTC wheels (9.5" +32 F, 10.5" +34 R), Tabsbe springs, and tires 245F/275R and don't rub at all even with 4 adults in the car. I'm going with 255/285 next time and I'll still be OK.

I would just make sure the the offsets are not lower than +30 or higher than +40.
