People tend to think that if a tire has room sitting static that it won't rub when pushed..

Well, let me tell you that tires, even the rear need some room to articulate, especially when driven hard and the harder you drive the more room you need.

Personally I would rather have a touch more room than cut it too close and have rubbing. Plus, even if the wheel was 1" bigger what difference would that make with anything? Not much from a performance perspective.

To me wheel companies give "guidance" it's up to the customer to choose the right offset and size.
