I'm currently running the 24x10 Lorenzo WL15's with the 275/25/24 series tire and had issues with rubbing. Everytime I would go over adip, the body would drop and catch the fenders a little. Instead of rolling the fenders, I just had the plastic wheel well covers shaved and the surrounding fender shaved down, maybe 1/2 an inch taken off. Haven't had any issues since. I love my wheels, and everybody seems to only talk about the positive aspects of having them, but there are some negatives:
1) You definitely lose on gas mileage. Using the a/c during the summer has some affect as well, but I went from averaging about 18 to 19 mpg, to about 12 or 13.
2) I wouldn't suggest putting 24's on anything without the hemi. I had the 2.7, and I had 22's on it, and it had alot of lag. Even on my hemi I can feel the difference in acceleration with the 24's.
3) There are also issues with handling at high speeds. I've intentionally tried to push it to see whether there were any issues with stopping, cornering, or even top speed. The major issue is that the steering wheel becomes extremely loose at a high rate of speed with the wheels on.
These are just the issues that I've encountered so far. None of these would have changed my decision to purchase my wheels because I'm willing to accept the consequences that I may face to achieve the look that I want. Don't always take the first opinion you get because some people are just completely turned off to the idea of large wheels, or any aftermarket wheels for that matter. Hopes this is helpful to anyone!!!!!
