18x8.5+35 with 245/40R18 will it rub.

[TheRealWizzy]

I'm looking to run 18x8.5+35 with 245/40R18 pilot sport 4s tires lowered on either skunk 2 springs or Ground Control sleeves. Anyone know if I will have any issue with rubbing with this setup.

I'm dropped a little over an inch with 18x8.5 et36 and 235 40 18 rsrrs which run like a 245 and I don't rub. I do have issues with ground control though!

Ground control?

Ground control?

The suspension brand.

Oh ok another question since you’re here. Did you use the stock tire on that rim 18x8.5?

In my previous statement I noted that I was running a tire that runs wider than the standard tire. Imagine running a 245 40 18 stock tire.

Yeah sry if it’s a dumb question I’m basically clueless when it come to wheels. The bits and pieces I know are From what I’ve gathered in my research. Will 235/40r18 fit a rim that’s 18x8.5 +35 offset?

An 8.5 generally can run up to 255 and down to about a 215. I personally like having a bit more rubber on my wheels.

Just lowered my car 1" with pro kit. Also got 18x8.5 38mm offset 245/40r18. Test fitting tonight, will report back.

I have the same drop less than a week. Did yours take Time to settle?

Have 10 miles on mine. Hot off the press last night! Also tempted fate with a front sway bar install. 0/5 stars, do not recommend. Handles great though.

This picture says it all...

Eibach springs take some time to settle. About a week out it drops about 1/6", well mine did at least. Not enough to get re aligned if you aligned yours.

Been more of a fan of swift springs because it comes "broken in".

I’m actually freaking out because barley noticeable but I’m weird so I do. My driver side seems lower than passengers

Make sure it's the proper spring rate. Stiffer springs take a different time to break in than softer ones. Make sure the part number is correct, I've had issues running different spring rates at one point and it wasn't pretty.
