The 225/40R18 would fit and should not rub. Stay that way for the best handling.

I dont mind cutting the plastic lining to avoid rubbing. If I did that would I eliminate the rubbing issue with the 225/40s and 52 offset? Because I dont want it to perform well

..... actually, just let it rub till it "cuts" itself through, you'll be fine.

Might be the "aspect ratio" of your tires.

The Toyo T1S is very..what do you call it... lowered friendly lol. The sidewalls allow you to run a little bit more aggressive offsets. I am pretty sure I would rub with some squared off sidewalls like the Yoko Es100's.

BTW ive taken my car through a course.. no rubbing!

And my momma said im not a pu$$y
