and I bet you either rub like a [censored], had to roll your fenders, or have rubberband tires
and actually I have 17x7 wheels and I can tell you that any wider will rub.
so DUDE, you're still wrong.

All you need to do to fix that Putz is trim the inside of your fender where it meets the bumper, takes 5 minutes with the wheel off. Touch it up with a bit of paint just to make sure rust does not set in.

I have 18" and I don't rub. 18" X 7" and I didn't have to trim the bumper because I don't have an SVT. 225/40/18 is the tire size.

which falls into the category of modification but thanks for your time 
if you REALLY wanna get technical...whether you rub or not depends on wheel offset and tire size which pretty much makes it hit or miss when installing 18"/19" wheels
soooo the best way to avoid any of that is to buy yourself a set of 17x7 wheels with a 215/45/17 tire which requires absolutely no modifying at all...not even "5 minutes" worth.

yeah i am definately running 19's with NO MODS. in fact i may have made it even more interesting with the konis and eibachs. still no modding needed. 19 by 8 is a little bigger than your guaranteed 17 by 7's.

We are talking about a solution to HIS problem w/4 people in the car and HIS 17x7s, not my 19s.
I'll say it again, ignorance is bliss.
