18x9.5 +22 w/275 fitment?

Anybody running 18x9.5 +22 w/ 275/35/18 thats lowered on eibach prokit. Thinking of running this set up but don't want to do any fender modification. I'm already lowered and the eibach is more of a drop than some of the other springs. Not worried about the fender lining at full lock but concerned about the fender lip. I ran 18x9.5 +20 with oem tires last year with just a slight rub on the liner. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

With +22's and 275's I would say you almost HAVE to roll the rear fenders. Just do it and you won't have to worry about what size tires you run.

With Eibach springs you will have to roll your fenders.

Thanks guess I will be going with 265s then, wanted to go with 275/35s because its closer to overall diameter of oem but don't want any issues.
