Default RE: 180 tire and lowering it? will it rub?

mine did... i had to rewire the whole underside of the fender, i re routed my wires along my fender rails... I kept ripping them out with the 180... so i got sick of it and just re soldered everything... granted i did air shocks so i went real LOW, i weigh 200lbs, and when i run 2 up she is 98lbs... with only 300 lbs on there we will get rub on occasion... not enough to go though the protective rubber under there, but enough to rip out your turn sig wires... people have had diff luck though... i however had to rewire (it was real easy anyway)

I have 11" Progressive 412s and the SE 180 nothing rubs.However, I also have my wiring run out side the fender behind the rails.
