Been asked a few times about rubbing, poke, and flushness of the 18x9.5 +22 & 255/18/40 setup so figured I'd post some close up pics for people to reference. There is zero fender rubbing with this setup. The camber is "standard" camber from lowering the car 2 inches (I don't have any adjustable arms). I'm surprised we're still recommending +35 and +38 on 9/9.5 width wheels to people as a "good offset". Those are good offsets if you want aftermarket wheels that have the same clearance/look as OEM. If the goal is to improve the look/flushness, then we need to start recommending lower offsets (+25 and lower), wider wheels (9.5+), and/or beefier tires (265+) .

Welcome to curbrash
With all the cameras, alarms, mirror tilt - curb rash is completely avoidable and fully on the driver. I’ve been running wheels like this for 10+ years on cars with less situational awareness assists and not had any problem avoiding rash. Always have to :rolleyes: whenever I hear ppl blame rash on the wheel setup....
 
arg language brainfart, i actually meant streetrash on the bottom front of the car and streethump rash on the bottom middle of the car.
Now that's more reasonable ;)

I definitely have scraped up the underside of my lip and the plastic runners on the underside of the car. Nothing visible without getting on your hands and knees though. Haven't scraped the bottom middle of the car yet (knock on wood)...the plastic runners are a little lower than the mid section, so they thankfully take most of the brunt.
