Wheel noob 255/40/18 on a 18 x 9.5 + 38 wheel fit?

Same specs with Michelin PS 4S. Lowered on Spoon springs and no rub. Camber set at -1.5. I bent my front fender tab up before putting these on.

Works fine also with the Advans A52

I heard Indys hydroplane in heavy rain, how is your experience in them?

Haven't had an issue yet but I'm not exactly being super aggressive when it's raining out, especially heavy rain.

255/40 on spoon? Now I'm interested.. any other suspension mods other than the springs?

Do you have more pictures? I have the same specs and I’m close to pulling the trigger on Spoon springs. Thanks!

Thanks for everyone sharing their experience. Summer set up: gram lights 57dr 18x9.5 38 with 255/40 PS4S on stock height. No rubbing so far with winter tires in back or 2 adults and 2 kids and some luggage. I try to avoid hammering any big dips at high speed though.

May 2021 Update, very minor rubbing at all 4 corners, worse in front to be expected with weight distribution. Bent front tab near sidemarker, tons of clearance now. Rear tires just kissing the plastic body trim at 12 o:c I think so I sanded plastic to monitor if it rubs more. Wanted to share as general consensus is no rubs on this set up.

If it fits on my 18x9.5 et35, it’ll fit on a 38.

Nice! Do the Hypergrams in +35 need a spacer up front? Looking at this exact size for both the wheel and tire.

No spacer just hub centric rings all around

I know this is a type r thread but my SI with stock suspension fits 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35R18 with no rubbing, the type r should be able to handle it fine

I run 255/40/18 on for my track setup
RAYS 57 XTreme Spec-D with Advan A050s and HKS Coils

Rubs like a mofo under heavy load but on stock you should be fine.
