I rub on the avant occasionally with 18x8 ET30, low but not slammed. I would think its..

probably a factor of your ride height but that will definitely be a beefy stance.

if you are low i'm almost positive you'll have some rubbing issues with that offset.

fenders rolled? may still have to lift the car up a bit. what not 35 offset?

That's a VERY aggressive offset and width.

Id be very surprised if you don't rub with that combination.

I had 18x8.5 et 30 wheels on my old S4...

And 215/40/18 tires and I was pretty slammed. 235s will definitely rub... you can get away with 225s. You'll have a bit of stretch.... so it's up to you if that's the route you want to go. My 215's had ALOT of stretch.

Also keep in mind it depends what brand of tire you go with. Not all 225s are created the same.
