There really doesn't seem to be much room between the 225/40's and the spring perch of the stock struts...I can fit a fingertip by my fingernail in there, but that's pretty much it. Thoughts?
On 18" wheels, the closest part to the suspension is not actually the tire, but the rim of the wheel. So you should be okay going up to a 245/35R18.

(my wheels are about 4-5mm from the strut perch and I run 255's without any rubbing, street and track)
