So yes i have searched till I'm blue in the face...
I have koni str.t with h&r super sport springs, and I'm looking to get 18" ET 35 wheels. The only thing holding me back is the offset on OEM is 51 which seems like a big change to me.
If i put them on 225/40/18's would I get any rubbing? I'm afraid to order them and have the wheel not spin.

I don't know how stiff those srt's are but...i had super sports with stock shocks for a while with 18x8 et35 225/40 and some minor rub with passengers. Then same stuff with bilstein b8's and have zero rub. Oh and some tires run wider than others so try and search for that too. Hope that helps

Wheel will spin, rubbing "may" come from tire contacting fender or fender liner during suspenion travel (going over bumps, dips, hard turns) If it happens it will probably be slight and there are things you can do do fix it.

The edge of the tire is out about 29mm over stock and first point of contact will be fender or fender liner. Have a look at the MKV FITMENT GUIDE
