Will Dubs Rub Or Not?

I was thinking about getting dubs, but my main concern was if I had passengers in the back if it would rub? My last car rubbed so much that I had to turn my system up not to hear the noise when i went over bumps. Just didn't want to make another expensive mistake. I was considering 19's but was worried about finding tires if needed. SOme one plz help

lots of factors come into play; if you've been there done that w/your last car-then ya know

just get the correct suspension and you'll be fine, dont forget your wheel offsets though!

thanks guys...any suggestion on the right offset or tire specs. I was thinking of doing like a +38 front and 42 rear. I've heard that anything lower than 35 on the offset is too high.

perfect offsets

do a 245/35 tire front and 275/30 rear and you should be fine

Uh, what widths are you going with? 20s on OEM suspension won't look too good. Just my opinion. The only tire size(s) that will guarantee no rubbing would be ones that retain the OEM diameter. Not many guys are willing to ride on such small sidewalls though.
