Anyone running 235-40-18's w/ stock suspension?

Is there any rubbing?
This would be for a Speed3.

Sorta...

I test-fit a single 235/45-17 (45mm offset, 8" wheel) on the right-rear of my MS3. It looked OK, but I haven't been driving around with them yet (the company from which I bought my wheels are major ****-ups and didn't send me centering rings until yesterday; they should get here tomorrow).

If you can wait a few more days I should have these tires on my car and should know whether they'll rub and whatnot...


[a few days later...]
Welp, put them on, everything seems good!

Cool, Thanks!

I'm only lowered 15mm in the rear with those tires and I rub. (18X8 48MM ET)

I don't rub bad but I have rubber slivers on the outside of my tires.

It is hard to find but supposedly if you have a 50mm offset they won't rub.

I am running 245/40 18's on 18x8 +50mm RX8 rims on stock suspension. No rubbing at all.

and THAT just solidified my love for the RX8 wheels on our car. Nice going!

What tire are you running. That is the size I want but tires vary slightly in width across models. How is the clearance?

I am running P245/40ZR-18 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S all season for the winter.

i use 245/40 18 tire on the front wheel with 18x 8.5J offset=48. it is OK
but 235/40 18 tire on the rear wheel rub the fender rarely when just on wheel drop in a big hole.
