It will rub even at stock ride height? I will not be lowering the car for a while. I plan to track it in a few years so thats when it will probably be lowered. I just want to make sure i buy a wheel that can clear a bigger brakes but doesn’t look silly. I think your 9.5 +50 set up looks perfect but i cant find it anywhere.

It really depends on your driving style. If you're puttering around to the ice-cream shop with your significant other, on a Sunday, you may not rub.
But I think any form of spirited driving or freeway "woops/yumps" could cause the suspension to fully compress and you will scrub. Also entering an incline at full lock could cause the wheel to kiss the fender.
I may be overly cautious, but you sound like someone who doesn't want to roll the fenders, therefore I feel you will not be happy if one of these aggressive wheels does the rolling for you.

yeah your right my driving style would make it rub. Thanks for your advice and help. I will keep an eye out for the sizes you recommended.
