depends on what the offset is, as well as tire size...

What he said!

I have 38 mm offset, with a 275/35ZR18, and I get a little bit of rub on the front interior wheel well liner, no biggie.

I have 53 mm offset and mine rubs on the front wheel well liner on full turns. I don't think its hurting the car or the tires/wheels any though.

I have 19 X 9.5 on the front, 275/30/19 (goodyear Eagle F1) no rubbing with 40mm offset (VERY close though)
bear in mind tyres are different so luckily, although close, mine don't rub, but another manufacturers might
