You'll only really scrub if you have lowered suspension, like really lowered i.e. wound down coilovers (cough) :rolleyes:. You won't have to worry in circumstances with small drops in ride height.
Oh no, my needler is bald!

Do we have a listing anywhere that shows each frame and what wheels actually fit?
Would be nice to see for each model:
Front:
17x7 fit
17x8 fit
17x8.5 fit, but scrub if lowered
18x7.....
Rear:
17x7 fit
17x8 fit
17x8.5 fit, but scrub if lowered
18x7.....
Of couse it would only be a guide since you will always find a wheel or offset that will scrub on a different suspension setup etc etc, but as a guide it would be a good resource I think :)
What do you all think?
