you usually buy in sets of two. You can fit them to the front without fitting to the rear. Its more beneficial that way anyway for a front wheel drive car as increasing the rear dials in understeer

the thing is that if i put them on the rear aswell when people are in the back of my car the wheel may rub on the body because their quite close already :/ maybe i should just leave it, it only rubs a bit and that when i turn at full lock or is leaving it not agood idea

If the correct profile is on the tires then you shouldn't be getting a scrubbing atall... think they should be 185/55/14
