I have a 1995 9000 Aero with stock suspension. I have 225/50 Yoko AVS 100 tires on it. The only time I had a rubbing problem was when I packed 5 guys in the car (pushing 900 lbs total). Even then, the rubbing was limited to the driver rear and only over really bad bumps. It shows that it rubs the inside of the fender liner at full lock, but how often and for how long do you drive at full lock?
I think the tires work fairly well - definately good for the price. I think the 225 width is about the max the wheel can handle. The greatest improvement has been in straight line traction. Accel and decel.
Tires are not too great in the wet, seem to be kind of noisy, and my first set of fronts lasted just over one year.
They do look pretty cool, too.
