Will 225/45/16 + 40 offset + 1.5" drop = Rubbing?

Just shopping for new tires and would love to go wider but realize I should've bought a different offset. Will this work or will I be rubbing like mad?

Hmm I've got 225s with +45 offset, but only a 1" drop. I think you should be fine with +40s and 1.5" drop. I wish I'd bought +40s.

I ever so slightly rub now with my monster 215/55/16's.

Sounds good.....thanks Anj.

what's the width of the wheel? With a 16x7 40 offset you should be fine..

I'm kind of suprised to hear that they even come close to rubbing.

Yup, any hard corners or big bump = rubbage.

Yup, 16x7.

Which is better for larger tires, more or less of an offset?

Do you know what the OEM offset for the stock rims are? Cause I'm looking to get a set of 18x8" TSW Pace's with 215/40/ZR18 Hankook K104's and I want to know what offset to use so there's no rubbing. Or will the OEM offset work for the TSW's? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
