They rub!
20mm All around installed this afternoon.
Stock Non FS 18x8.5. Same specs as F-SPORT.
Stock size 255/35/18 tires.
RSR Downs (approx 1" drop)
I don't know how it does for some, doesn't for most but they definately do (for me).
Only variable I can imagine is my springs have more miles on them, and settled slightly lower? I have no idea.
Look MUCH better though.though.
May follow up with pictures.

Just rear. And not all that hard to do either it was obvious within minutes of driving.
Not constant either but I will be replacing with 15mm for rear.
Thinking maybe tire brand has to do with why there is inconsistency with people rubbing.
I have Goodyear EagleSport all season.
I've read there are some variances in shape and sidewall structure across brands but I don't know if that would make the difference.

Installed the 15mm spacers in the rear today.
In comparison, my tires looked a little more squared off on the sidewalk than others. Maybe that's the difference.
a peek inside my rear fender wall...its been misplaced a bit.

What do you mean misplaced? And also do 15mm rear rub?

In that picture towards the rear you can see the fender liner has come removed from the clip.
In the other picture, you can see where there was some rub, nothing tragic.
15mm absolutely do no rub. I gave it my best shot on some less-than-smooth mountain roads yesterday.
And the same spots on the same roads that caused rub with 20mm I tested at higher speeds. Nada rub.
