you will get rubbing especially over bumps, unless you roll your fenders the right way. Then you will be in the clear. Had mine rolled and pulled slightly and then I was able to add spacers. Keep wanting to go wider. If you decide to roll remove the rubber caulking behind the lip, or just cut the lip off.
20's were in the clear but I added spacers and again with the rubbing and also tires ware, had to replace premature.

Next set of wheel, if I get them I'm planning to go down to 19's and lowering for that aggressive stance.plus handling gains. Even with 20's the car stood a little high for my taste.

if you have perfect roads, do whatever you want. if you think you might see a pothole, ever, you may want to consider not going full retard.

here's what it looks like:
