Default Will 18x8.5 +30mm offset all around fit without rubbing?

Hi,
I was wondering if 18x8.5 +30mm all around fit on 235/40/18 tires fit without rubbing on the xB? Or will different tires be needed to not do fender work? Just wondering if the +30mm offset will stick out too much if I drop the car on TRD springs or NF210s.

Thank you!

8.5" wide +35 offset with 235 tires, on NF springs, rub on the front fenders (just ask BBN-Boys), so you're definitely gonna rub in the front with +30mm offset.

What wheels are you looking at, and do they come in any other sizes or offsets?

Yes it will. On an 8.5" wide wheel, +30 offset on the front will stick out past the edge of the fender a little over 1/4".

oh and im talking about the front wheels not the back. I would just get lower offset and same width wheels and use spacers in the back to flush it out
