Are you stock height? if so, 245/45/18 should be fine. You may rub on the inner rear fender liner depending on wheel / tire width.

 

If lowered all bets are off. I was rubbing with the stock wheels. 235/45/18 is a better choice if you want to be sure of 0 rub.

Yea we spoked before. I've asked a ton of people and seems like the average is 245/40/18x8.5 with no rub (random offsets, no average there but none lower than 44). Haven't heard one with a 235 yet. All depends on offset and how low you go no? 235 is on a 8in wide rim? That would open more rim choices up for sure. Wanted to go as wide as I can obviously which is why I was planning 8.5.

 

Planning on bc racing coilovers. If you look up Instagram user 6mt_obk thats how low I want to go. Just a nice wheel arch gap all around. He's running 245/40/18x9 et40 with no rub and uncut liners and not rolled. Instagrammer karas_obxt is running 245/40/18x8.5 et44 with only rub in front right because of a nose dive problem(?), Uncut unrolled. Both running bc racing coilovers. Kara's is a bit lower than I'd like.

 

Stock wheels on a lowered car at et48 definitely sounds like it could rub on the inner tire or maybe at full lock on the fronts
