I have an RX-8 on eibach lowering springs and recently came across a deal on some ADR M-sport rims and wanted to know if this setup would be a problem? Size: 18x8.5(front) 18x9.5(rear)
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 Offset: +35  The tire sizing would be Size: 245/40(front) 275/35(rear) will I have rubbing issues or anything like that or will the fenders have to be rolled?

I think I need a lesson. My factory wheels dont rub why would these? Is it due to offset? My wrx is lowered on eibach springs but I also have kyb agx adjustable suspension so im guessing the dampening on those keeps them from rubbing so are the stock struts under dampened (is that even a word) for this type of setup? Your car looks fairly low Chrism what do you have going on that allows you to get away with that assuming you do get away with it.

i have 19x8.5 in the front with 235/35 and 19x9.5 with 265/30 in the rear....my fenders are rolled and i am right on the edge...i also have espelir springs which lower my car about 2 inches.....stock offset on an 8 is +53 so going to +35 is 18mm close to the fender and if you go wider than the stock 8 inch width it brings you even closer.....if im on the edge and you want a tire even wider than mine you will most likely rub
