Exclamation Need help... Wheel questions.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I have 225/40/18 on my 18x7.5 wheels. The offset is +44.

I've raised the car up enough that I don't rub when I'm driving on my own, but if I have people in the backseat, and or a lot of cargo in the trunk, I rub (especially on Interstate 405/90 dips)

Anyways, From what I see, the wheels just BARELY stick out of the wells (like, barely a couple of mm). I'm afraid that rolling the fenders won't be enough to avoid rubbing. A couple of questions...

1)Is it possible to go with a tire that isn't as wide? (215???) I'm not too familiar w/ how to read tire specs
2)I will be rolling my fenders regardless cause I'm thinking about running alil' bit of negative camber on purpose for front and back, to tuck in the top better.

How bad of an idea is this? I know I will get uneven tire wear, but is there (up to) a certain point for negative camber that I can run to minimize premature tire wear and tuck the top of the tires into the rolled fenders. (we're talkin' like, millimeters here).


Thanks everyone for any input.

No suggestions? Is anyone running on slightly negative camber @ all?

Roll the fenders, you wont hear any more rubbing....its easy and will solve all of your problems. You wont even have to mess the camber. If you roll the fenders and drop the car itll look sick!

Tim, just for future reference your RH Evos are +42 offset.
All 17/18" Evos are +42 offset. 19" Evos are +45 offset.

O yeah, and roll your rear fenders already you pussy.
