usually they're gonna rub when you crank the wheel all the way and try to pull a U-Turn. How low are you? Try slowing down a little bit when you make the hard turn..

offset will do it. When my car was that low it rubbed with stock wheels too though so the ride height is also a contributing factor.

Height, Tire Width, Offset can all affect it. That said at full lock my stock wheels with 205/50/15 will rub. Best suggestion is not to go to full lock.
