no rubbing whatsoever that i notice

they are 16x7.

I have talked w/ many wheel places that deal with ReX's (OBBN pirmarily) and he says that you can go clear up to 17x7 rims, with 205/40/17's w/o any rubbing problems.

There are 3 parts to the taillights, first, is the outer (clear) second is the coloured lens, ( red, yellow, white
for reverse) and third is the main body (where the bulbs
plug in) The clear outer is held to the main body by 2
(clear plastic) pieses that run through to the back of the main body. when you look at the back you'll see 2 holes
with clear plastic (heads) holding the outer clear cover.
I used some wire cutters and cut the heads off of the 2
pieses, and the clear covers come right off. when i reassembled the taillights i used glue where the heads
were and i've got no leaks

Thanks man! I noticed that on my GS, that they were both broken off. My right lense had previously been caulked on, so i did similar w/ the left.

Peace
