^TRUE. I've also got 17's with 205's, no rolled fenders, and my car sits about 2" lower than stock. I only rub when turning the wheel all the way in either direction moving like 3mph, or when I hit a dip in the road (but that's because my spring rates are waaaay too soft with Tokico HPK).

I'm going to say pretty far. My tires rub (wow.. that sounds a lot dirtier than it actually is lol) on one of two occasions:
1) I'm driving slowly (under 15 mph) and I turn the wheel too far (actually, it happens way more often now with my fiberglass fenders than it did with the stocks)
2) I'm driving slowly (under 25 mph), turning, and I hit a bump/pothole

In all honesty, my front is lowered around 2.5" and the rear is about 3.5"... I'm running 205/40-17's.
