I've been looking at multiple threads but haven't came to a defined answer: Would a 18x8 +35 rim with 215/40's rub when lowered about an inch and a half? Some say it'll rub, some say it won't so I'm not completely sure. Any input would be helpful, thanks

I’m at 8.5 but it depends on whether you have natural camber or are running any camber bolts/arms. I had to run rear camber arms on my coupe to allow me to stop rubbing when entering driveways but aside from that, I did not rub while driving on the streets or freeway.

I don't have rear camber arms currently so the rear camber is at about -2° while the front is under -0.5°. How much camber do you run?

I think right now I’m -2.2 in the front and about -2 in the rear. But that’s cause I’m about tire to fender. I have not rolled/pulled my fenders yet either.

Hey all I made a tread before about this but just wanted to make a new one with more ideas. Basically I have a 14 ex and slapped some 18x9.5 38mm 245/40/18 as my wheel set up on stock suspension, only rubs barley when I go over bumps around 60mph either then that no rubbing. Been told my wheels are a bit big but I’ve seen bigger done to 9th gens and look clean. But my goal and plan is to get a nice stanced finish kinda flush with getting lowering springs and rolling my fenders if needed but I wanted to see if there where other options or ideas out there. Again not looking to lower it crazy with camber or anything just something nice and simple. Thanks.

That width on stock struts is a bit much. Your tire will run against the spring and possibly the strut if you go lower. Ideally you should run aftermarket coilovers. So you have some camber adjustment. There are also camber bolts you can buy that’ll allow you to have camber.

Where's it rubbing? On the strut tube or spring-perch or fender-well?

The tire rubs against the fender liner. Right above the lip of the rim but doesn’t hit the rim it hits the tire.

No problem. I had a sedan before my coupe that I lowered in Eibach Lowering springs and I rubbed on the fender liner and I couldn’t full lock without pushing out the bumper or smacking the fender. I also was running a 18x9 +35 RPF1s. So I was pushing my luck tbh.

Maybe you could use a heat gun on the plastic fender liner to deform the rubbing area and give it some extra clearance?

lol I never really cared on my sedan. Now on my coupe I just lowered it enough to be fender to tire stance. I do still have to shave/roll my rear quarters.

Don’t take my word for it but I think you’ll be good, I just slapped 17x9s +35 with 235/45 tires and I only rub in the rear, need to roll the fenders because it’s too wide.

So I would imagine an inch off the entire width of the wheel and low profile tires would actually be pretty spot on. I’m on truhart shocks and struts paired with eibach springs.

What’s up everybody,

Quick update on the fitment, I had the fenders rolled and now have -2.2 degrees of camber in the rear. Ran great on the test drive, but on the way back from the shop I had some issues. I had a jack and my daily wheels loaded in the back all while going over a dip on the freeway (decently steep) and the tire smacked the fender.

My question is, would coil overs fix this issue? Given I can adjust the height etc. Or is this something I need to address cosmetically? I understand that there was an extra 100 lbs contributed to the rub from the load but I am discounting that.

What do you guys think?

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'm looking to get something like 17x8 +35's with 225/45 tires, hopefully that works fine!

No lol. I am on a smaller wheel but 10mm wider tires. I’m running about - 2.5 camber in the rear and I still needed to shave/roll my rears. As for the bottoming out part, it could possibly save you. I personally haven’t messed with the rear struts in the sense of length. I installed at the length it was sent out to me. I just maxed out the spring itself. I did adjust dampening into +2 and it helped bit. However when I have load or people in the car, it will run occasionally.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose a bit more of fender work may resolve the issue then. I drove around town a bit and under normal conditions there isn’t any issues. Not sure about hard turns though but I suppose I need to possibly shave the fender.

The roller told me that the 15’s are a bit trickier than the previous years. Not entirely sure why but apparently it can only be rolled so much before I run into cosmetic issues surrounding the fender.

Looking for validation in this setup from Discount tire on my wife’s stock height 2013 LX sedan. She’s been on steelies with the covers and is ready to move up in the world. From what I’ve read +35mm to +45mm offset is acceptable?

Considering the following setup:
Konig Control 18x8 +45mm
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ 215/40 R18

Open to any suggestions as I have no prior knowledge/this isn’t my typical wheelhouse lol

It will fit…

You should get something closer the to stock 18s if you’re not sure if it fits or not.

18x7.5 225/40/18 is the size.

Wheels should fit but I would get wider tires at least 225 to properly fit the wider wheels.
