EDIT: No doubt that Big Jim is right.

Is your car at stock ride height or lowered? Did you have problems with the inner fender liners at all?

Ride height is stock and wheels are original. Fit is close, but adequate. I have never had an issue of the tires rubbing the fender liners or anything else.
