Depends on the offset. Some people have posted their specs as well.

18" Wheels...Post them up!

225/40R18 Should be fine.

215/45R17 24.6 inch diameter Stock
225/40R18 25.1 inch diameter Recommended
225/45R18 26.0 inch diameter Your current

Diameter isn't everything if you have 215s on low offset wheels and a low drop it's still going to rub.

I realize this... but he has Sportlines which I also have and I am running 17x8 with 225/45R17 that have a 45mm offset and 5mm spacer so 40mm offset and no rubbing. I don't believe that the g-games are a really aggressive an offset.

You would probably want to start worrying about rubbing below 38mm.

And you just said yourself: I'm on 18x7.5 with an aggressive offset on 225/40 no issues.

Was just trying to put it in perspective of the various heights of the tires for him. But yes offset does obviously play a factor as stated in previous posts.
