Rub if lowered on eipach pro kit with 255/40/18 +38 offset?

[YYCFK8]

Thanks for this post. I am running Swift Spec-R springs, Work ZR-10 18x9.5 +38 wheels and 265/35/18 Toyo R888R tires and rub really bad in the front and rear. Could be the tires which I read run wide? I only put those on as I found a deal on them and am ok getting rid of them to a friend who tracks. I am going to try one size down Indy Firehawk 255/35/18 tires which I read run narrower as well and hopefully won't rub and have to trim the rear fender and bend the metal tab at the front?

Any input would be great before I pull the trigger on the 255/35 Firehawk tires.

To let you know what the outcome was as I really don't want to rub in any situations I changed the tires to the Firehawks 255/35/R18 and pleased to report ZERO RUBBING! Doens't look as cool as they aren't as fat and created a bit of a wheel gap as well but I'll take that over the rubbing.

Those R888R were crazy fat through, I'm wondering if I could have even done 265 Firehawks but didn't want to risk it and be stuck with still some rubbing.

Just installed my Tein S.tech’s yesterday with the same wheel and tire combo. Bent the front fender tabs in. So far I haven’t heard any rubbing. When it warms up I’ll get some better pics.

A friend of mine is running 265 firehawks with swift springs and doesn't rub.
I have seen that some brands have a wider sidewall than others.
