Default Another "will this rub" thread

Hi all, didn't see an appropriate thread so move if needed. The question is will this rub/fit without any issues:

Enkei Raijin
18X8.5 +35mm (F) 245-40-18
18X9.5 +15mm (R) 265-40-18

Car is stock height and no camber mods. I would like to stay away from rolling the fender, but would be open to a spacer in the rear. Also open to any tire size suggestions.

Thanks

It will fit with no rubbing issues however I would recommend getting wider wheels (eg 9.5F 10.5R) with lower offset (which may require rolling fenders). Your fronts would be a bit sunk in with those specs
Why are you staying away from rolling fenders? It's quite simple and useful!

I really like the look and the price of these wheels, and 9.5 is the widest they go in 18". Rolling of the fenders just seems like a waste of money and effort to me if I can just get a set up that fits out of the box. Will the size of these tires fit fine on the wheels?

Add on 25mm spacer in the front and a 5mm spacer in the rear. That will give you a flush look with your fender in both the front and rear. At stock height, there will be no rubbing issues. Once you lower the vehicle beyond 0.75", you may have watch for rubbing issues.
