Will I rub???

Hello, I wanted to know if I'll rub the spring. I drive an 05 sti cut rear fenders. I have 17x 8.5 weds sa-90 with a +35 offset. Previous owner put these on. He also cut the fenders in rear. Since lowering the car on cobb springs in a hard turn i still rub my 245 40 falken 115's. So I bought advan rgII's 18x 8.5. +50 offset. The cobbs are a larger diameter than coils. I plan to run a falken fk-452, 245 35 18. Gruppe-s said the 50 offset still clear brembos but I may need spacers. Does anyone have a +50 with 8.5 wide? Please let me knoe if it'll clear thx. By the way th rear tires are almost tucked with the 17's now.

Thx

i think you would be rubbing on the inside....adding a spacer will bring the wheels towards the outside of the car. try running a 5mm spacer, you should be okay

How about 18x8.5, 48mm, 245/40, without rolling the fenders. will this work?
