Axis Decade 18" wheel - need xB tire size options?
Recommended tire size is 215/35/18. I have a 2" drop, and wondering if I can buy a 215/40/18 for a little more comfort, without doing any mods for this fit without rubbing 
. I'll be running the staggered set, I believe the offset is 42 in the front + 35 in the rear.
Thanks for your help.

I am running a 215/35/18 on mine now..there is very little clearance to run much of anything taller than I have...the tires will rub otherwise
I'm no expert for sure..but I can tell you from what I see on mine...I bought mine with the 18's I didnt order it that way..so I am learning as I go along

I'm running an 18 x 7.5 wheel with +42 offset and a 215-40-18 tire. I'm also lowered on Tein S-techs.
The front rubbed a bit on the "lip" of the plastic wheel well liner after install (nothing a quick trim with a razor blade couldn't fix).
The rears, on the other hand, required me to roll the fenders. I'm using OTG 10mm spacers. The passenger side was cutting into the sidewall of the tire. I think without the OTG spacers, it would fit fine. After a quick roll of the fenders, no more rubbing.
Hope this helps.
