Default Will there be rubbing issues w/ Bilsteins, H&R Sports, 18x8 ET35, 235/40?

As the subject line says, will I encounter any rubbing issues if I run 18 x 8" ET 35 wheels with 235/40/18 tires on my car which has Bilsteins and H&R Sports? I did a search in the archives but didn't find anything conclusive.

Thanks in advance.

Default I ran something similar with 18x8.5 ET35 (235/40/18)/ Bilstein/Neuspeed and I rubbed a bit.

I had my fenders rolled to cure that.

Default Thanks. What I can't figure out is whether an 8" vs. 8.5" wide rim will help

Personally, I prefer to run an 8" wide rim and not have to roll my fenders. I currently have 17 x 8.5" with 225/45 and don't have any rubbing issues.
