225/40/18 + 2 inch drop, is it possible?

Is anyone running something similar to 225/40/18 with a 2 inch drop? im ordering rims this week and i also want to lower it, but i'm not sure if this is going to fit. Is there any rubbing? am i going to have to roll my fenders? Any info would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

yes its all about the offfset if your fitment isnt to crazy it should fit with no issues..you will probably rub up front though.

Yes, it will fit... with 40+ you can do it. You'll rub up front though.

I had 225/40/18 on Hotchkis stage 1 (1.6" drop) and it rode fine. But it did rub at full lock. Rims were 18x7 +40 BTW

Looks like the wheels are a +42 offset, so they will rub in the front for sure then?

they probably will. you might want to try a smaller tire. maybe going down to a 215/40/18. i had 215/40/18 tires with tanabe df210s and it didnt rub much with a 18" rim with a 42 offset.
