Default Anyone running 18x10 +40 wheels?

I'm heavily considering a set of TE37s for the F come summertime, as I need new summer tires anyway so I may as well do the wheels at the same time. I was talking to a fellow owner on Instagram with the exact same wheels and he is running 18x10 +40 square on 275/35/18. I'm on stock ride height and I'm wondering if I could get away with not rolling the fenders on this setup. I think if anything the rears will need rolling, but the front will be fine. Anyone able to offer any insight on this?

Rear will be fine. I am running 19X10 +40 on 275/30 in the rear - no rubbing and no fender mods.

I think the front may be an issue with inboard room - inner tire may rub fender with such a high offset.

18×10+40 RS DF with 285 /30 RE71R lowered. You will have a wide gap if you are on a stock height.

Advan RS DF forged, lighter than TE37s by 1+lb. and more concavity and deeper center bore, with the same size.

I'm wanting that exact same spec on my car. My friend has a set of Apex wheels, 18x10+40 squared wrapped in 285/30/18. rear is fine but front wheel hits the spindle. Not really sure what to do, maybe some wheel spacers? How did ^^ fit on his ISF?

Thanks for the insight. I would rather not lower right now just because I really don't want to worry about scraping again with a low car lol, but im curious how the gap will look

edit: after some thought I think coils would be fine in the future. Would get me away from the stock '08 suspension too

I saw you run 275/35/18 with this spec and are lowered on HKS. Do you rub in front or rear and did rear require rolling? Contemplating switching it up a 4th time.
