Sorta depends on your suspension and how much roll (how compliant) your car is.

If you look at my front tires you think "gee, there's plenty of room" and then I let a pro push my car and my front tires melted to the inner fenders. lol.. The back has less movement, but (again, depending on suspension) moves more in turns than you think.

Rubbing sucks, and is expensive since it ruins tires.. I can see where a wheel company would err on the side of clearance than "pushing the edge" since if a tire was ruined by rubbing they would most likely be presented with a bill.

Thanks Steve, I will definitely take that into account.
