I have the Heavy Duty Bilstiens and B&G lowering springs. Supposed to be the same lowering effect. I don't get rubbing, but my 16" wheels have, I believe, a 30 offset, whereas the SuperAero wheels have a 27 offset (sticking out further from the wheel well). Just for reference, the stock 15" wheels have a 40 offset. Your superAero wheels with 27 offset may or maynot cause rubbing when you put those intrax and bilstiens on. However, I have known guys with the exact same set up you're talking about that never complained of rubbing using the 205/50 series tires on superAero wheels. I'd say go for it. And the rubbing only occurs, if at all , alittle over steep uneven grades on the back wheels only when they articulate. You're not going fast when turning into a steep driveway anyways, so it really is not a big deal. As for the heavy duty Bilstiens, I find them kind of too stiff. You might want to look into buying the Koni "adjustable" shocks instead so you can tune your ride as you like. Or, buy my HD Bilstiens off me, and I'll buy the Koni adjustables for myself!
