I have had both 16" Evos and 16" Hock Rs, with the proper 35mm offset, and
I have experienced rubbing at all four corners at one time or other.  The
car is lowered with Spax nonadjustables, and there's a sub enclosure in
the trunk weighing about 70lbs.  With just me in the car, there's no
rubbing unless I go over a dip in the road at high speed, turn the wheel
to lock, or engage in very spirited cornering.  With anyone else in the
car I get a lot of rubbing, especially in the back when going over bumps.  

It's a 16v, BTW.
