Help: Will I Rub? 18x9 +35 wrapped on 225/40/18 tires.
I have a 2007 wrx lowered on Cobb springs.
I have a set of 18x9 Rota G-forces +35 offset I was thinking of getting new tires that are 225/40/18 but I wasn't sure if it'll rub. Would I need to get the fenders rolled and pulled or just rolled?

Cobb's springs are low for springs. They are also soft. They are essentially blue S-Techs. I think you would be fine running 225s, though that size is way too small for a 9" wheel.

Yes they are soft. I bought the wheels used and they were originally on 215/40/18 gawwwd they were super stretched. They use to rub in the back only when the car had 4 passengers. As for the 225/40/18 tires I was looking for a stretched look. I take it I have to Roll the fenders maybe even pull to avoid any rubbing issues(when I get the 225/40/18 tires)?

IMO, all comes down to personal preference.

I have the same gforces but my tires are 245/40 and the rub in the back if someone is in the car, mainly hitting dips at a decent speed. I need to roll mine and should be good.but I don't know where I can go to get them rolled, anyone have suggestions?
