Andre is wise in the ways of big rim fitments.  I run 215/40/16 on 7.5"
wide rims and I get no rubbing and still have all the wheelwell liners in
the car.  I had to take one or two screws out of the front ones, and let
the tire burn out a bit of plastic around the rim, but once the tire carves
itself enough clearance (takes a week or so), that's it.  No more rubbing.
My suspension is Koni + Neuspeed Race, btw.  Stock swaybars.
