Question for anyone who knows. The wheels I posted are 18X8.5 +35. I called a few tire shops asking for quotes on tires. 3 have told me the front will rub with 235/45/18 or 245/45/18 tires. Is that right?

A few updated pics
I don't remember if I posted the details of these wheels along with pics before so...

DPE GT-7 2-piece wheel in the brushed aluminum finish with polished lips and barrels.
20x8.5 +25
20x10 +40

The back end needs to come down just a tad bit more

Teaser of my new setup.

Nismo LMGT4s

19 x 8.5 +25 (running a 5mm spacer so its +20, could probably go even more aggressive in the front since I'm running natural camber - no front camber arms)
245/35/19

19 x 9.5 +30 (not sure what size spacer, if any, I'll be running in the rear)
255/35/19

Rears had 275s on them, but they didn't fit so I'm getting 255/35s this week. Plan to have the wheels on this weekend.


275s no fit
(even with adding a ton of neg camber)
