Default will i rub?

hey guys,

after some lengthy searching and research i couldn't find a definite answer whether or not somebody is riding with 275/40/18 all around on a LOWERED 350z. I found several threads with people running 275/35/18 on all fours, but noticed in the pictures that the rear has a pretty noticeable wheel gap. I currently am lowered on tanabe gf210s and am getting the rota p45rs 18x9.5 +20 all around. I want to ride with a square setup 275/40/18 all around. The big question is: Will I experience any major rubbing in the front? the gf210s drop the car 1.0F/1.2R

alwright...well wheeldude told me he wouldnt recommend 275/40s all around b/c its too tall for the front and will rub. he recommends 275/35s around...the only prob i have with that is the wheel gap that will appear in the rear. im thinking of going 275/35F and 275/40R
