Default 225/40/18 = Hotchkis?

the other day i saw a post on here in the wheel and tire section
about what springs would fit without rubbing

and it said the Hotchkis would not rub on a 225/40/18

it will depend on the offset of the wheels.

Here was my setup: 18X7.5 5-100/114 45GBC Konig Hotswap. P225/40ZR-18 88Y REN B g-Force T/A KDW NT on Hotchkis springs. I had zero rubbing and it looked amazing.

i dont haev 18s but i have 225's on 17 x 7.5s and im rubbing . i can almost assure u with that offset that u'll rub. if not immediately...u will later. and as much as i hate to say it i'd have to try to deter you from hotchkis springs. they DEF rust out. they have on a fair amount of tCs including my own and a friend of mines tC after about 8 months. i now have s-techs which are HIGHER then the hotchkis were. the hotchkis became very soft and was sagging so bad the fenders would rest on the tires is i turned the wheel. u DONT want that. save urself the trouble and dont get hotchkis. plus if u ever decide to get competitive the S-techs have a better spring rate then the hotchkis. good luck
