Aimed at people with standard Vauxhall offset (et49) Do your wheels rub on the back if you go over a bump?

What does 5 up mean? Mine's 100mm rear now Jay and I swear I've heard it rub when I went over a big bump. Mind you, there's nothing in the boot bar a box of bits so prob that jumping around

No rubbing here even with 3 people in the back  195/40's give so much more room than the 45  Exhaust does catch on some bumps though.
