Default Need Help On Wheel Fitment

hey guys, I'm helping my friend install some wheels on his car so I just need clarification if they'll work or not

He has an 07 350z, maxed out low on megan street coilovers.
The problem is that when his 15mm spacers were installed in the rear they shaved down the stud so its either we use the 15mm spacers or I completely take out the current studs and put the oem ones back.

The rear wheel is 18x10.5 +22 with a 235/40/18 tire
so with the spacers it'll be 18x10.5 +7 with the same 235/40/18

Will this fit (18x10.5 +7 235/40) with just a fender roll, maxed out on megan street coilovers in the rear?

p.s car has no camber modification besides the natural camber that comes from the drop

^^ 235mm tires are stretched on 10.5” wide wheels. The wheels size and offset are fine for clearance if you roll the fenders. The problem your friend will have with a big drop is alignment unless he adds additional suspension components.

camber and toe arms will be added to fix alignment, as long as the wheel fits with a rolled fender was our concern. Thank you very much!

Yeah. With rolled fenders, you'll be good to go. With that kind of stretch and a 10.5 inch rim, you have to dip into the negatives to have any real issues.
