So only just the one guy who had a right rear wheel rub on his 4th gen? I am supposed to meet the head of Race Star this weekend, and I'll check with him on that.

I'm in the process of becoming a dealer.

The passenger side rear rubbed on mine; 15x10 Race Star Dark Star. Driver's side wheel was fine. From what I've been reading, it's about 50/50 whether they rub or not.

Won't be much of a lip. I run 17x9.5's up front and 15x10's out back and the lip on the rears is a hair more than the fronts, but by no means a deep dish look. If that's what you're going for, the Dark Stars aren't what you're looking for.
