With that set up I think you will rub a bit. Cuz Im runnin eibach prokit with 18x8.75 with 245/40/18 and it fits just perfectly. Car sits just on top of the tire with NO rubbing.

Depending on tire size, sure!

Look at my pics a few posts up. I'm on sportlines and 18x8.75. Not a single rubbing issue. Tires are 225-40-18

Absolutely, I'm running 245/40/18 with Sportlines. No rubbing, ever. 235's work great with this setup

Good to hear! I'm on these same wheels. I hope I can get 2 years out of them as well. I love the way they look on SWP!

Are anyone elses matte bronze 527's starting to look like shit? On about half the spokes on my one front wheel it has a paint chip. So disappointed in these wheels, they look great when they are mint but they are going downhill fast. Installed for about 1.5 months. They've never seen any type of chemical, have been washed one time with a bottle of meguiars car wash soap. Probably going to have them powder coated for next season, hopefully they can come close with the color.

Pretty common problem with the Bronze. There are posts all over about them peeling. Seems to only be a problem with the bronze.
