Default Eibach Pro-kit + 275/40/18

Hey guys, about to buy a set and was wondering what the wheel gap is like with 40 profile? If anyone has pics, that would be awesome!

Wheels are TE37's with 18x9.5 +22 (F) amd 18x10.5 +15 (R)

Sorry I don't have any real good pictures of the rear wheel gap
245/40/18 and 275/40/18 dropped on Tanabe GF210(1" f 1.2" rear)
18x9.5+15 and 18x10.5+15
That was pretty close to when I had them first installed... I believe that the springs have settled now and its a tad bit lower. The front is significantly lower now then it was

Oh, since youve got the exact offset/width and tyre profile, did you notice any scrubbing on the rear? Im assuming it will need to be rolled? How much camber are you running also? Cheers

I rubbed when I went over medium bumps/dips in the road.I had my fenders rolled and no more rubbing . I have the SPC rear camber arms/toe bolt so I was able to get everything within OEM specs except for front... I want to say -1.4 R and -1.9 F. Ill have to check though

EDIT: -1.6R and -1.7F

I love it... I DD my Z and I think its perfect(I live in Chicago and have yet to test them in the winter ) I know I am going to need new shocks eventually and am thinking about getting the Tokico D Specs(The adjustable ones).

Edit: Ill try to get a pic or two of how it sits now
