These are JUST ok on non-spacer drums (about 2-3mm clearance between a Falken 165-70-10 tyre and the trailing arm).
i have std offset contessas, and when i had non spacered drums the tyres(165 falkens) rubbed on the rear trailing arm, i have heard of a few people having this problem so whilst they might not rub when stationery there must be slight contact whilst driving.
We had the same problem on our Mini K with the Contessas, a well known Mini shop supplied us with 2 thin spacers made by machining the centres out of a couple of old brake drums and used them as a spacer very thin but enough to solve the rubbing and thin enough that the nut still had plenty of thread to bite onto.
