Will this work ? for rims & tires

18X7.5 with 45 offset - using 235/40/18's
Some people say they are too wide and will rub. What's the experience here on the board. I'm looking at the Konig Imagines - also anybody have experience with the Excel E-2 or the AZA Z-2 - they all have the same look but they aren't that much cheaper than the Konigs - Thanks

running 235/40/18, 18X7.5 on an eibach drop, i rolled my wheel well and only rub occasionally on big bumps. Before i rolled it i couldnt turn aggresively and the rubbing over bumps were pretty bad. Im gonna try 225/40/18 next time around.

Ferizzo how r u rubbing without a droP?

My wheels stick out with the 42 offset. I really only rub on hard turns and deep dips/bumps with another person in the car. I have 100lbs of shit in the trunk (2 wheel/tires) so that probably doesn't help.
