 Yeah, the will rub because their wider. To make them fit you have to cut and roll the wheel well and hope that works out for the best.My friend had that problem even though he did that so he's going back to stock size

If your interested in sponsorships let me know. Or hit me up on my email kid_charles2005@yahoo.com and I'll get back at you

 There gonna be fine with the tein but your gonna rub sometimes. 18 x8.5 is kinda wide. Try putting 18x8

 Progress tech springs are 1.8(maufac specs) all around(some say 1.7) i
figured they'll settle at 1.9? IMHO this would be ideal for 18's which is what i plan on getting.

wow that was more intense than that one time I forgot how to sit down...

 you will still rub with no drop on 18x8.5 without rolling the fenders and a proper offset.

 Im a newb and I just ordered up some Tein S-tech springs and I was wondering If I would have any rubbing issues with 18x8 wheels on a 40mm offset? Or does it all depend on the tire? I was going with 225/40/18 tires..
