Default Wheel fitting

I'm really tired of looking through threads of uncertain rubbing issues. So I will be running 215/40/18 +45 and 255/35/18 +45 on Tein Springs, will it rub?

You really need the width of the wheel to say for sure but a 45mm offset is probably going to rub.

Well if the wheels are to wide the tires will hit. My friend has 18x8 and 18x9.5 with same tire size they don't rub but his car isn't lowered. But I'm not sure what ur running? Good luck wish I could help more!

The size wheels I'll hopefully be running are 7.5 in the front and 9 in the rear. I'm really trying to avoid rolling the fenders if that is at all possilbe.

At stock ride height you won't rub but a 45mm offset on a 9 inch wheel will stick out past the fender. You'll need to run a fair bit of negative camber to make the wheels look as though they fit.

Ok cool, maybe i will go to a 50mm offset all the way around. I just want the wheels I end up picking to have a concave form to them. Can I run a 255 rear tire with a 8.5 inch wide wheel?

Concave will only happen at offsets in which you need to roll your fender with RPF1's.... unless you are at stock height which you said you won't be

I want to run a set of Rota SVN's because I love the way RE30's look but I do not want to pay Volk money. I also love Volk SE37k's but as far as I know there are not any replicas of those wheels. Work emotions also are a possibility because the concave on those are sick but I really don't want to roll the fenders.
