Any body scrubbing with 245/40ZR18s?

I have a two inch drop and I'm looking to put some 350z rims on my car pretty soon. I've been tire shopping and I found some nice Falcons that are 245/40ZR-18. The tires are the Ziex ZE-512 model.

Just wondering if anyone has this set up or similar and if they scrub too much.

If you're worried, just get 235's instead. I'm running 235/40ZR18 ze512's on muranos and they look great, no "scrubbing" (rubbing?) at all.

the z wheels have a lower offset, I would say rubbing is highly probable.

Currently, I have the 350z wheels and I am experiencing rubbing before and after stock height. I am going to convert to 235/40/18 in the rear when the tire is worn out.
