Will these tires rub? I just bought 18's for the cavalier. I looked at the sticky about tires. Just making sure that they wont rubb. Which size would you go with or what do you have if you have 18's.

Mr. Quick

That's the correct size for our cars, but rubbing also depends on the offset you got. If you got too low of an offset, and you're lowered, they might rub on the fender. If you got too high of an offset, they might rub on the struts. It's not just the tire size.

Mr. Quick

Trial fit the rim on your car and look to see what your clearances are. Since you're not lowered, you'll probably be absolutely fine.

My tires are that size, on 18" Motegi MR7 rims. I believe they are 18x7.5 with +45mm offset. I'm lowered on Sportlines, and I'm in good shape for clearance except for minor full-lock left turn rubbing on the front right tire. I gather this is fairly common.
