You're missing one important spec here - the offset.  The "stock" cgt 
tires have room to bounce up inside the fender.  If you put some wider 
ones on, especially if the offset is less, now the tires will stick out 
more and possibly rub the fender.

Although, with my coupe using lowering springs, I have only got the rub 
effect with two adults in the back, when hitting bumps (of any sort). 
That was with 15 x 6.5 ET 35 wheels with 215/45 or 205/50 tires.

Otherwise, no rubbing at all.

I've also never heard of people on here having to roll cgt fenders - 
it's always type 44's they are doing that to.
