Default Rubbing, rolling, cutting, for stock susp on 25f/30r spacers

Did the research here and have concluded that people with
18" oem rims on stock suspension were able to run
25mm front / 30mm rear spacers without have to cut/roll fenders
As well as not experiencing any rubbing.
My only question that I could not find here was what size the tires have to be,
In order to maintain the rub free ride / not have to roll fender?
Is it 225/40 and 245/40 max before it would start to rub?

Thanks for the help.

I personally had F:225/45 and R:245/45 with 25mm/30mm spacers on, but I rolled my rear fenders. I don't get why not just roll them. Should only cost you around $40-50 for just doing the rear only.

I still don't think 245/40 would clear with 30mm spacers in the rear of the car.

Thanks Airkilo I'll keep that in mind.

Terrasmak, I'm looking to put the Touring V2 rims on my 2003 Z.
I believe the specs of those wheels are (18×8 30mm offset / 18×8.5 33mm offset)

With that being said, what do you think the tire sizes will have to be to avoid having to roll my fenders? It's honestly not a big issue, I have the money, it's just I'd prefer not to.
If it would make my life and driving the car easier to just roll the rear fender, that's fine.

I would probably do 25mm front and rear or 20mm front and 25mm rear.

25F/30R looks perfectly flush to me, no rubbing and it looks fantastic. It's probably my favorite thing I've done to the Z, it makes it look far more aggressive and stand better.

What size were your tires?
F:225/45 and R:245/45?

Thanks
