Tires for 18" 350z track wheels

I just picked up these wheels yesterday. I'm on Progress springs and Illuminas.
Will 245/40/18 tires rub? The offset is 30F/33R.

If that won't work with my drop, I'll have to go with 235/40's then.

And no, my beam is not recentered yet and I don't want to grind down my tab.

Thanks

245/40/18 should fit no problem...i take it your still running stock 350z staggered setup right?

The Law had staggered 350z track wheels with stock potenza tires and never had a problem....he was dropped on eibachs however...but iirc, progress and eibachs are very close in spec anyway

I did rub when I hit big dibs tho or any type of medium dip for that matter. Stock size was 245/45/18. Now I'm running 245/40/18 with no rubbing or atleast I don't hear it anymore but it doesn't seem like it rubs.

Too late, I ordered 235/40s on Monday.

Yeah I know the beam recentering isn't hard, it's just it's difficult to break the bolts loose without air tools and enough room under the car with just jack stands.
