The closest thing you need to worry about rubbing on the inside is the parking brake securing bracket on the rear control arm, but that can easily be bent for more clearance.
Thanks. I'm looking at the Enkei NT03+M in 18x9.5+40, but I'm hearing they may have big-brake clearance issues. I'm normally not a fan of the RG-D style, but with the lip they look much better...
