^ Yeah, and how wide are the rims? I think you're going to rub with those tires regardless, especially with that drop.

well, here is an idea for you. I have 18x8 rims. The offset was 42 but now is 27 up front and 22 in rear. So that's all the way out to the fenders. I am dropped 2.5 inches. i'm running 225/40/18 and i still don't rub and have a lot more to go.

I doubt you will have any problems at all.

btw. make sure that the tires that you are going to get will fit on 7" wide rims. from what I have seen 235/35/18 have a min of 8-9. just some food for thought. :)

correct me if i am wrong guys

235 will not fit a 7 inch wide wheel, your side walls will pinch in at the bead making for a very unstable side wall. think of them looking like a pyramid, really wide where the tire is at, then going up towards the bead, they get pinched in together on the wheel, not a very safe set up and i'm not sure you're going to find a place to install them like that. if you want to go to the 235, i suggest nothing less than a 8 inch wide wheel at least.
