Default anybody lowered rolling 40 or 45s on 18"'s?

I have 215/35/18's and I've got df210 springs...I need new tires soon, and I'd really like to get a little more rubber between my rims and the road.

I'm wondering if anybody has the same drop( about 2") and is on 18"s with 40 or 45's( as opposed to 35s), and if so- any rubbing issues?

I have the DF210's with 215/40/18's. No rubbing on slow turns, but fast turns with dips in the road, railroad tracks, dips, or any other obstace and you'll probably get a rub. Just have to make sure you stay slow through the dips and railroad tracks.

If it is any help though, I am swtiching to 35's when these tires run their course because I am not a big fan of the rubbing.
