I ran 18x8.5 32ET with 235/40/18 without issue (unless you slam it). S4 guy ran 19.8.5 30ET BBS LM

That's about where I am at. They recommended not running lower.

225 will be perfect for 18x8

Default on my 18 x 8.5 ET32 LM's I *had* 235's which rubbed like crazy front and rear...
keep in mind, my front fenders are rolled! I switched down to a 225 and all is well now.
