Default Will My Tires Rub? 245/40/18

I just bought a 1991 lexus ls400 that is lowered on megan coilovers and has 18 by 8 enkei wheels with 245/40/18 tires. The fenders are rolled and have some rub rashing. Does anyone know if the wheel and tire combo is going to rub?

it depends on the offset... somewhere between +35 and +45 should be ok, or at least close... got pics of the existing damage?

perhaps raising the car up a little if it does rub?

Rear fenders rolled?

Knowing enkei, it's probably no lower than a +30 offset. I'd say you're probably fine. I'd recommend rolling the rear just in case.
