    I've got them on mine and they don't rub anywhere. I don't know what they'd be like with people in back.

    I used to run 50 profile on the back of my other 5 with no problems. Did get a little rub on full lock on the front though

    Running 50's on my 16v wheels. mine scrapes a tiny bit if i hit a big pot hole or bump in the road......don't think you'll find either of them on a track though. Rubs at the front on full lock.
