Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires will i rub- searched, confused

after looking through offset and tire size posts for over an hour, i'm a little confused.

i'm looking at a set of 18x7's, without lookinat the wheel, he figures +37-40mm

my intent is to run a 225\40\18

i've read that as little at +35mm is ok, and others say anything under +42mm will rub like hell.

i haven't been able to find a definite answer through my posts, so i figured i'ld ask.

i wouldnt think youd have a problem.....im runnin 18x7.5s and im not sure of the offset, but i havent had any issues. they are konig next with continental extremes 215/35 series.

if u can find out the offset it'll help alot. the 40 offset should be ok. the 37 may put it close enough to the fender to rub. not sure though. i have 40offset on my 7"wide wheel and dont think i'd want it to be closer to the fender, maybe if i roll the fenders the 37 offset would fit well thought it could fit without fender rolling so who knows.
