Will I have any rubbing?
Let me know what you think. I'm getting 18x7.5 with a 43 offset 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR and i'm going with 215/35-18 tires and a 2" drop. Do you think I have any rubbing?
Will I need spacers?
Thanks in advance.

That thread really isn't that great. Not to specific. For my size it just say "mentioned by someone" But anyway I got my 215/35/18 43 offset and it BARELY clears the rear arm so I called up this one shop I usually deal with and he said he can get either 3mm or 8mm spacers and told me that the 3mm would be the best. What do you think?

With some spirited driving, and depending on how flexible your tire's sidewalls will be, you will experience some rubbage against the suspension member, which is sooooo much worse than rubbing against a body or plastic part. Also, to reiterate, a 17x7.5", +45mm will not even allow your car to roll cuz it'll straight up scrape against the suspension; that's how close it is!
