Volk LE28ns 18 by 8.5 +25 with 255 35 18 tires rub?

I am downgrading from my 19's and have already rolled my rear fenders. Do you think I will have any rubbing issues with Volk LE28ns 18 by 8.5 +25 with 255 35 18 tires. I think I will be fine. My car is lowered about 1.2 inches in the front and .8 in the rear. I have Tien Flexx coilovers.

These are wheels I am buying tommorow with 235 35 18 tires.

with those tires you'll likely be ok. my reasoning is that 18x +35 is perfect with 255 35

now that means you're running .5" less... which is .25" less from hitting the fender. that translates into 5mm plus you're running 20mm less on tire, which buys you a total of 15mm

the difference between +25 and +35 is obviously only 10mm

That should work. Post some pics when you're done.
