Default Ordered RS-R down springs, will 18x8.5 +35 offset cause any rubbing issues?

Planning on running 225/40/18 tires on that set up with those wheels? Just wondering if there would be any issue as if I would have to roll the fenders or pull them

You'll be perfectly fine with those specs for rims and tires...no rubbing and no fender mods needed.

My wheels are per this spec and also on RSR Down.
I added 20mm front 15mm rear spacer to flush them.
No rubbing.
