A 225/40/18 tire (Kumho to be exact).
And in two suspension situations:
1) OEM Sport
2) OEM Sport Springs + Neuspeed Bilsteins on lowest perches

35 should be ok
Mine rubbed like a bitch with 235/40/18 on 18x8 ET35, but my car has Neuspeed race with NS/Bilsteins on the lowest perch. The front was rubbing even when I was driving straight at slow speeds such as in a parking lot. I think with 225s and a car not so slammed, you should be ok.

I have 18x8.0 with ET32 it's fine,but also depends on what tire you use.
Bridgestone 225 S03 or a regular 235 tire may rub with that offset.
I have no complaints though,I find that the 32 offset looks great and fills the wheel well perfectly, ET35 should also be cool.

I had the same wheels and similar wheel gap. I had bad rubbing even after fender rolling
It didn't hit the fender anymore but it still rubbed like crazy on the wheel liner. I had the wheel liner melted and pushed away, and cut parts of it off but it still rubbed. Really annnoying
