I just installed 235/40's on EvoX Enkei's w/ stock springs. I have the rear rolled at the first notch only. I know of a bump that puts load on the rear to check. Will do tomorrow.

FYI, 18 x 8.5 +48 will not clear the front if you have coilovers. They grind on the strut body, ask me how I found out at a wasted track day 
Please update the OP, as it says front clears no problem and rears might need a spacer; it would be good to include this bit about coilovers. In my case the rears had PLENTY of clearance, so I incorrectly surmised that the fronts would be fine. DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING, don't be like me

+45 will rub the suspension on the inner lip, will need ~10mm spacers to fit.
+38 will come very close as well, and could potentially need small (~3mm) spacers to clear the inner suspension.
+35 is a confirmed fit, but it will all come down to suspension and alignment to determine if +38 will fit, or not.

It's all going to depend on camber. A 18X8.5 +48 rubs the front struts @1.5*
Let's see: 1in = 25.4 mm
18x8.5 = 215.9mm w/ centerline of 107.95, +48 = 162.3 (grinding)
18x9 = 228.6mm w/ centerline of 114.3, +35 = 149.3 (good)
Change the camber and **** goes out the window

I have 235/45/18 on stock evo x 8.5 +38...I have some rubbing on stock height and suspension. If I go with some stiff coilovers will it help any? It only rubs in the rear on slow speed but quick turns when the cars weight is shifted.
