    wheels- 18x7.5 +45
    tires- 225/45/18
    springs to be lowered on--WORKS (1.1 all around)

    I've searched around and read all the posts i could, found some members with a similiar setup but i would really like to have a for sure yes or no on wether i'll have rubbing issues. THanks!

    Thanks guys! I actually saw your post. I was refering to your post when i said that there were members with similiar setups. :p I can live with the slight rub in the rear as long as the front doesn't have issues like rubbing while turning hard right or left. So 225/45 are good to go then!?

    i think i've had mine for 6 months and never had rubbing on the front.

    Sorry If I didn't respond sooner, I was positive I sent a pm back to you.

    In any case, I don't see any issues, but that always is slightly different with every vehicle. You aren't increasing the tire width much, or the placement of the wheels. Depending on the actual tire you have (some have broader shoulders even being the same tread width) may rub, most won't rub.

    The front is money, you shouldn't have any issues whatsoever.
