    Thanks mate. It sounded pretty manageable to me but better to be sure. Reckon there's any issue lowering it on those rims?

    25/40 on 18x7.5 would be ideal but I don't think there will be a huge range of wheels to choose from in that width. Most will be 8 wide.

    Actually I've seen quite a lot of wheels in 18x7.5 when I was seeking out 18x8 at the beginning.

    Anything bigger then a 17x7 will scrub from my experience if you want to got for a wider stance. I have 18x7.5 36p on 215/35 tyres and there's still minor scrub on big dips in the road and hard cornering. 17x7.5 36 with a 215/40 might just be alright but i doubt it

    Either your car's not low enough or you're not driving hard enough :p

    On a serious note how hard is your suspension with the h&r's?

    This rubbing thing is all pertinent to how low your car is.

    And the stiffness of your suspension. Like I said anything wider than standard with a 35ish offset will rub at some point or another.
