   Yes, im 50mm down and no scrubbing anywhere at all even with 5 people in the car on 45 profiles, when i had the 205 wheels with proxes 195/50's, they used to catch ever so slightly on full lock, and the back wheels used to catch the arch linings when i hit a slight bump in the road with only one person in the car. Annoyed me so much i just took them off and sold them, bought some more 45's.
