Default That puts you 13mm closer to the upright than my 18x8 ET35's with 235's...
...if those 235's are 235/40's, or if those 235's are S-03's (really 240's in width), then I don't think you've got the clearance. If they're 235/35-18's you *might* be okay.

Default i use 8mm, but, you can get away with 5's, even with brand new brake pads..
caliper clearance wasn't an issue for me...the suspension clearance was fine too, but, i like the 8mm's
