rubbage depends on how well your wheels will fit the car. if you have an offset lower than +50 on the front, you will rub with a 225 tire*. for the rear, you need something greater than +55.
* this also depends on the tire brand, how squared off the tire is... i only have experience with bridgestone so3 tires, and i rubbed on stock ride height, 225/40/18 SO3 tire on a wheel with +48 offset.

it all depends on offset.
i had the option to get 18X8 or 18X7 for the front with 45 offset. I went with the 18X7 on a 225/40/18 and i don't rub at all. I'm glad i went with the 18x7 instead of the 18X8 cause that would have rubbed for sure.
my rears are 18X9 with a 55 offset and 255/35/18 an it rubs only during full suspension travel. I also have a 2.2 degree camber on the rear.
