Default Custom tire and rim clearance...tight? (pic)

Just wondering how common this is...if you all out there with custom wheels have the same thing goin on... real tight clearance on the rears from that lower stabalizer bar (?) ..if that's what its called...
My set up are 16x7 MB Drifters with a 38mm off-set, tires are Kumho Exsta 205/50/16's
stock suspension
also a heads up for those who might want to mail order rims/tires and pop them on yerself...just be careful with the measurements
pic is from infront of the rear wheel looking towards the rear

Do your wheels rub at all?

i have 17 X 7.......205/40/17..........40mm offset and i have no rubbing at all.

perhaps it is the offset that makes it really close.

Hey check out this site. It gives a predicted calculation on wheel clearance.

if its da stock tire from da srt den dats ur problem. the stock srt tire is a 50 series tire which is too high, u need to switch to a 40 series tire. u would b fine running 205/ 40 tire
