Default TRD drop ,35 offset, any rubbing?

This only goes out to people with a TRD drop and wheels with a 35 offset tires size 225/40R18.I have searched and theoretically its not supposed to rub from what I can understand but it seems close.If you have this combo just want to know if you rub or if you dont and if you had to mod anything not to rub.Thanks.

I have that set-up with 2 sets of rims (one is 18x7.5, the other 18x8.5) and no problems whatsoever.
The only time I rub is on extreme dips. Other than that, turning, driving, and going over bumps is okay.

P.S. Pix are in my "profile" if you're interested.

you'll be fine with a 7.5 et+35. that only sticks out 10 more mm than stock which is less than a 1/2" and the turd drop is the most conservative of them all.

The rub is in the rear.
Actually no not at all. Opposite is true. Rub is in the front fenders. The rear you have tons of room. With the right offset you can run 265 maybe a 275 tire.
