You will most likely rub. I run the same size wheels and can only get away with 225/40's with some rubbing every once in a while. I have Eibach/Bilstien combo.

hmm - have you rolled your fenders?

[foofighter]

what brand tire are you running...this has been discussed many times depending on the manufacturer their 235 is more like a 225 but from my experience toyo/falken run narrow. whilst continental/bridgestone run true to their sizing.

you will most likely rub on this setup. I don't recommend you rolling the fenders, but trim off approx 1/4" of the fender's lip and modding the fender liner. This should help but will not eliminate it all together you'll have to be careful cutting sharp turns going up steep driveways....

I have the Moven Sp10's and they are the same size as the ADR M-Sports you are looking at 18x8.5. I think if you go with the 235 you will have rubbing going on...
I have Toyo Proxes 4 225/40ZR18 and I get no rubbing, but you will have the stretch look going on or as some say "Euro stretch" don't know why in the world it's called that

here is what it looks like...

You will most likely rub, no matter what tire you go with. I had a set of Kumho 712s - 225/40/18s and switched to Yokohama ES100s - 235/40/18 on my CHs (18x8.5 35mm offset).

I had NO rubbing at all w/ my 225s but have rubbing issues w/ my 235s. I haven't taken the time to trim the fenders yet though. My tires are taking a beating... OK, so it's not THAT bad, but if I go on a very spirited drive, my front tires look like they have hair growing off of them...

Thanks guys - I think I will still go with 235's. I can;t stand the stretched look. I will trim/roll the fenders when it comes to that.

I've cut up everything else on my car, I guess the fenders is just the next logical thing... 8)

i bought a set of these and my problem is not that it will fit, it does. but using 5 mm spacer to clear the huge calipers that the S4 has and now i it sticks out a bit! if i could just use 4 or even 3 mm spacers i would be fine i think

man - you are bring back bad memories!! I car is totaled now.
