You should be fine if you switch to a 215-45-17 that's what I'm running atm with out any rubbing, I also had a 2.2" drop with out any issues with a 215-45.

I want to run 215-40-18's but with the offset I'm worried about hard rubbing, I don't really want to run 215-35-18's.

Anyone else running a 18x8 with a 40 offset and lower suspension?

I haven't put my summers on yet I have new 215-35R18s and I am lowered 1.5 - 1.75" so I can't tell you, I'll find out in a week when I come back from vacation.

Let me know how it works out, I won't be putting tires on for a little while so a 215-35 might be my option.

No rub and scrapes.

Damn!
I didn't think a 35 offset would even work.
How much lower is your car?
