Guess these wheels. 18x8, +30mm allround, 225/45 (F) 245/45 (R). They are flush!!!
Car has a 1.1" drop. Slight rubbing at the front, slight bottoming out on the rear over high bumps.

you're rubbing at the front and bottoming out on the rears because you're running the wrong tire sizes.

The tires comes with the wheels. From what you're saying I should change them to 225/40 and 255/40? I'm sure 255/40 would rob the fenders.

Going to be running a set of NT03s from my old EVO. The setup is 18x9.5 +40 all around.
I do not plan lowering the car because of the horrible road conditions and my driveway has a very weird curb so it's not worth the trouble.
So my question is, would running 225/40 or even 235/40 cause any rubbing issues or any modifications needed?

Decided to swap from low profile 19s to 18s to drive on LA roads. The stretched tires looked cool, but the potholes were a bit too much.
Then:
F: 19 x 8.5 et35, R: 19 x 9.5 et42
Tires: F: 235/35/19, R: 275/30/19
Now
F: 18 x 8.5 et35, R: 18 x 9.5 et34
Tires: F: 235/40/18, R: 275/35/18
Will get better pics as time/location allow.
