how many times must it be said.. the WHEEL size is not the cause for rubbing (excepting having incorrect offset). It's the TIRE size that will be the cause of rubbing. If you want any decent ride quality, you have to have a thicker sidewall to absorb bumps from the road. 18" rims w/ a rubberband tire will work just fine, but the ride will feel like crap. With a decent amount of sidewall, the ride will be better, but lowered, it will rub.
