18 x 8.5" +35 will this fit...?

Im looking at some 18 x 8.5" +35 offset rims with 225/40/18 tires. I will be rolling my fenders properly with a fender roller. since this setup is all around would I have rubbing issues up in the front? what about the rear?

I am also dropped on Tein Basics fronts are turned all the way down, rear still has 3-4 threads till bottom.

let me hear from all of you who are running/ran aggressive setups!

How is that possible when I've heard other members running less aggressive setups with rubbing issues...

The pros probably didn't drop the car enough to rub, just my guess.

Yes, explain how that is possible, I have a 18x8 +50 with a 235 40 18 and i rubbed the rear bumper tabs. I rubbed with a 225 as well.

I rubbed with stock suspension around corners and dips with my setup.

No, With people in the back or a incline the rear would rub the bumper tabs.

This doesnt look like a +37 setup, my +50s look like that (actually pushed out more) With a +35 on my car they stuck out of the fender
