RX8 wheels with Cobb springs?

[MSP-4-ME]

Wondering if anyone is running RX8 wheels with 225/45/18 tires and Cobb springs.

I need to verify this will not rub. I actually don't care if it rubs the inner plastic wheel well but don't want to have to roll fenders.

Does anyone run this setup?

I suspect it'll rub. My 225/45s touch the rear wheel wells on driveway transitions and it's stock suspension. I'd hazard a guess you'll need to roll the fenders or go 40s.

How wide and whats the offset on these wheels?

I got the RX8 rims on with 225/45/18 and I swear the wheel gap looks bigger than before on the front. I want to get it about 1/2 to 1 inch lower, maybe Cobb springs but I'm afaid of rubbing. Should I wait and go with Mazdapeed coilovers?

Anyone have RX8 wheels with Cobb springs please post pics. Thanks,

just from looking at the way the rear sits with stock, i'm pretty positive that it would rub if you were to drop it. get them rolled and you'll be lookin pretty and ridin clean.

It'll rub, that tire size is too tall. I rubbed when I had those springs and 225/40's on my RX8s.
