There is when I turn hard or go up the driveway since my fronts are slightly tucking =[. I could have avoided the rubbing issue if I bought different tires. Federal Tire's stretch is more bubbly since they run wider than what the size is in comparison to Falken 512s, Nankang NSII, etc which run true to their size. I am dropped on Ground Controls / Koni Yellows

Sorry for the delay! I actually had to pull my front fenders about 5mm to fit them into the wheel well since the fronts are dropped roughly 2" and rears are 1.75". If you roll the rears you will be fine. This is of course if you stretch the tires. 225/40/18 seem to do the trick as longas they are tires that are known to stretch! Such tires are Falken 512s, Toyo Proxes 4, Dunlop sport maxx. There are more but those i have experiences with. My Federals 595 in 225/40/18 runs like 245/40/18 of those tires i listed. lmk if you have anymore questions, feel free to PM me, however I may not respond promptly since I barely have time for acurazine nowdays

dude it's your car. do what you want.
my opinion: they look great, they're cheap. any rim can bend, i've seen hres on my buddy's 335 bend on a little pot hole. these rims are cheap and therefore more easily replaceable on your budget.
i think these rims look like the real deal, and no matter what rim i would get whether it's volk, varrstoen, or work -- i'd leave the stickers off. i hate stickers, aka free advertising after you've bought the product. showing off is one thing, riding clean is another.
no matter what, haters will always hate.

hey Tim, any way you could have squeezed a 235/40 or would I be better off running the 9.5 +22 since the vendor says it would practically be a very similar fitment?

same sidewall angle, same flushness. Running that 235/40 on 9.5+22 will be equivalent to 225/40 on 9+12, except your radius of the wheels is a bit bigger.

VarrsToen if y'all ever made a set of knockoff 18" Work Emotion CR's, I would be all over them.

So to sum it up, you would be fine running 235s on 18x9 if you get tires that are known to stretch. Of course your car's spec would have to be like mine, meaning natural camber. If you camber it in more, you would be much better off.
I suggest you go for the 18x9.5 +22. The flushness of the wheel to the fender would be the same as the 18x9 +15, maybe sink in a few mm in too. With the 9.5s, the tires will stretch more in comparison to the 9" width, meaning you are MUCH better off vs the 18x9+15s

Hi, honest it all depends on the tire, and I stress that. I am 90% sure that I could have ran 235/40/18 on the 18x9 +15 if I went with a tire that stretch better. My friend has a set of 235/40/18 that stretches a lot more than mine because they are dunlops. The tires I have, Federal SS595 do NOT stretch. Their 225/40/18s run very similar to 255 of stretchy tire brands. I am pretty sure if you went with dunlops, toyo proxes 4, falken azenis st115, falken 512s, you would get that nice stretched. The tires I just listed have softer sidewalls and when they stretch, the sidewalls and the lip protector concaves IN giving you more space for that fender. With the Federals, they just BUBBLE up rather than concaving in. Speaking from experience*
