Default I've experienced rub in the back of the 90q20vt...

with 215/40 17" on BBS RX 17x7.5 ET35. On both sides. Nothing major, left no marks or damage to the tire.

I think I may look into some solutions for widening or getting something larger underneath these arches. 215 just doesn't do it for traction.

5x112, Oettinger RE 17x8" with 225/40 or SSR Comps for that matter, drool

Default differing tires, usually have differeing widths (as I'm sure you'd know) maybe mine are narrower...

I had 4 peeps in the car on saturday, coming back from Milton, hit all kinds of stuff - no rub - same height as in sig...

...also, might be the 350lb springs helping! ;P
