VERY interesting....... I was thinking this would cause a rub issue for sure. I'm really close to getting the same wheels as you have and selling my 166's for a couple of reasons:
1) Make the car higher with 20's so I can add a front lip without worrying about ripping it off on the slightest dip
2) I think 19's look small.
Did you use any spacers?

the car looks great! it feels very rewarding when you do something yourself and can take pride in the job 
love the wheels too! the silver looks great with the silver grills and silver trim... i wouldn't change a thing.

2) I agree 19's do look small specially with these wheels, 20's make it look so much more concave.
I did use the spacers that tire rack recommends and for now I soooooometimes have a small rub in the back when I have 2 people in the back seat and hit a dip but I rarely have anyone in the back so I am totally happy with the way they fit. I will check the size of the spacers for you and let you know what size spacers I have on there.
