But, that doesn't really mean much.
Your wheels might be different from mine in many ways, and you may rub.
Your suspension height plays a part in it too.
I've only had rubbing once before, and that happened when I was doing a hard 130 degree turn at about 30MPH. The turn was left-to-right, and the driver's side tire rubbed for about 2 seconds.
My normal daily drive doesn't issue any rubbing at all.
Wheels are 18x8 with ET43 offset.

About ET35-38.
If you have a lower offset then you run risks of hitting the fender and wheel well liner (rolling fenders and/or cutting the liner will help, especially if you're looking to run especially wide tires).
A higher offset and you may rub the upright on the inside.

If I go from the the stock 17 X 7.5 with an offset of 45 to a 17 X 8 with an offset of 35 with 235/45/17 tires, I might be pushing my luck with a fender height of 25.5"? The 235/40/17 should help me avoid any potential problems then.
I guess my question is what is the difference between 235/45/17 and 235/40/17? And, yes I know its @ 12mm, but seriously, will I notice anything between the two?
Thanks Sharon.
