How about a 205/40/18 tire on a 18x8 wheel, stretched? I want these on the front.
Ok, gotta remember offset plays a big role...I am running 18 x 8 (35 offset) and dropped on Tanabe DF210 springs...I did rub with this set up so I had to grind inner fender and yes I did use the factory touch up paint to prevent rust...

Now when I ran this same set-up with the TRD springs, I only rubbed in the rear over large bumps...

All this is with a 225/40/18 tire...

225/40/18 on a 18 x 9 is really not that stretched...You could run 215/40/18 or even a 205/40/18 I think...

205/40/18 would be a perfect stretch i would think for 18 x 8...Any others wanna chime in?
