I have 18x8.5 with 235/40/18 on Broadway static coilovers about 25 ftg.... Depending on your camber, you will rub. Also I have my front fenders rolled. My rears actually rubbed a bit but now that's dialed out with - 2 degrees of camber

what was your offset? Im about 25.5 ftg and i think the previous owner had partially rolled the fronty fenders and done the screw mod. i think ill test fit them before purchasing

I run 18x8.5 et 45(i think) with 235/40/18 tires with fender screw mod and slight fender roll. I think i sit around 24.75 ftg and i only rub on big dips on the highway. The tires poke a bit but not that much. If I could do it over again I think I would of went with a 18x8 rim.

I'm on 18x8.5 ET38 with 235s and VWR springs. I had to do the fender screw mod, but after that it's fine. You should be ok with ET47.
