With that said, we have seen plenty of customers run a 18x8.5" ET45 with a 5mm spacer and 235/40-18 tires on F22s with stock suspension without any inner clearance issues. yes, the inner strut/tire clearance will be tight, but as long as you have 2-3mm you will be in good standing.

I was indeed planning on running PS4S 235/40-18 tires. I guess I was under the impression that 2-3mm was a little too close for comfort. That does seem to be the clearance there.

The shop has both 235/40-18 and 225/40-18s in stock....would the 225s be "safer"? I'm kind of new to this....
