8.5J x 18

Can I fit 8.5J with 235-40-18 tyres ok to a Hawkeye STi without rubbing on the arches?

The question is pointless without knowing what offset (E.T.) you intend to buy !

Mine are ET 44mm and 8" wide and easily fit my Bug-eye.... but 235 tyres scuff my modified arches at the rear, just !

I've got 8.5 x 18" with 235s on my Blobeye STi, running BC coilovers and they don't rub, not too sure of the offset though, think they are 40??? Dare drift RS's if that helps.
