Need to get some new tires and am considering going to 225/35 from 215/35. I want a little more sidewall height but do not want a 215/40. Anyone running a 225/35? Do you have any rubbing.

I'm running 18 x 7.5 with a 45 offset. Lowered 1.5 inches on Koni coilovers. Front camber -2.0 degrees and back camber -1.5 degrees.

215/35-18 fits rims 7-8.5" wide, tire diameter 23.9"
225/35-18 fits rims 7.5-9" wide, tire diameter 24.4"

Should work without rubbing, tire selection slightly different with each size.
You can always go a little more negative camber in the rear if needed or do a little trimming on the plastic wheel arches.
