Has anyone run this tire size? I had the car lowered approximately 1 inch with the FSD/H-sport spring combo. I am concerned about rubbing.

I ran 225/40/18's and they rubbed a lot. (they were already mounted when I bought the wheels). I did the cutting of the fender liner mod and it helped, but they would still rub frequently over bumps and during hard cornering. It drove me crazy and took the fun out of driving so I bought some 215/35/18's and have not had any issues. My car is not lowered.
