Default Fikse FM/5 rim edge too wide for SO-2 225/40-18, anyone else?? how about 235?

Just received a set of 18" fm/5 w/ 225/40-18 so-2's. Rim pertrudes about 1mm. beyond tire. I got them direct from fikse premounted as a recomenation, noticed a few guys on the forum have the same wheels. What to do, send them back to mill down outer edge, which there is plenty of material to work with, or if 235's will fit under the car and will fit the wheel "properly". Also, will 235's fit w/ a coilover setup.

Thanks JP

Default I think Corey S has Fikse FM5 with 235/40/18 AVS Sports...with coilovers

The rim doesnt stick out as far as they did with the 225/40/18 Bridgestone S-02 tires.<p>Steve S.

The rim is always going to protrude a bit with Fikses--watch those curbs... (nt)
