No...it wont if you get the proper tire size. When you upgrade the size of your rims, the tire sidewall size goes down. So in turn you get the same (or close as possible) overall circumfrence. Make sense?

With big rims you get low(er) profile tires. Only rubbing that would occur would be if it rubs because of width. That's when offset/spacers come into play.

Depends on three things:

How wide are the wheels?
How wide are the tires?
What is the offset of the wheels?
