hey, i'm rolling on 18x7.5 rims with 215/35r18 rubber..........and i've got a Civic Vtir coupe lowered with King Springs and stock shocks. I've no problems with rubbing in the rear and only very slight/un-noticeable rubbing on the front only on sharp fast turns when there are bumps.........try to ease of braking on the turns, coz like you said when you brake the weight of the car is transferred to the opposite side you're turning and it will rub. good luck anyways.

I guess you are right, there is only rubbing when going humps and turning tight turns when the car is fully loaded other than that its pretty good. Besides I rarely take more than one passenger anyway so it's all good.
