Nope. No rubbing issues at all on my car. I'll report back in a couple of days once the she setup has had time to settle in.

I'm considering some 18x8.5 +44 but don't really want an aggressive poke in front. How flush are the fronts before and after drop?

8.5 +44 isn't aggressive with or without a drop, its pretty flush up front. There is a fitment chart in the stickied threads.

Yah I've seen the chart, which says this should be perfect flushness in front without a drop. I was just wondering how that translates to real world looks.
