hey palaban, thanks mucho! 
Clearance has been aok, no rubbing still, but I've yet to load up with passengers (anytime now this will happen
.
The closest point of contact is in the rear wheel well, between the sidewall and the strut. In there, I can only fit my index finger up to (and not past) my fingernail. So, it seems there's currently just under 1cm of space there. It *may* be an issue in a hard corner, if the tires roll & flex, but again I've not heard any rubbing there...yet.
I can't/won't ever be dropping the car (need the clearance around here!) so I have that to my advantage. I do feel a performance alignment would serve me well, so next spring I'll get that done for sure.
All in all, they are a fantastic aesthetic compliment to the car, the bigger tires however, I'm still getting used to*.

* seems the 070's like to catch a groove and track now and again, is that par for a wider 'performance' tire?

nothing too special about it, but its mine...
Only mods at this point is removed snorkel and 20% tint all around but I'm actually ordering a 3" Random Tech downpipe/midpipe and intermediate pipe and a Prodrive axle-back today so hopefully it'll have a little more "oomph" in a week or so.

Thanks for the compliments RBothell. They were taken at a little park by my house. Found this little spot back behind one of the picnic sites, the concrete pillars looked to be part of some old overpass trestle. Thought it'd make a cool spot, the trees where about 75 yards away from the trestle, the sun was breaking through and giving some awesome lighting. I'll definitely be heading back there when I get some more mods done to the car.
