225/40-18 Kumho V70A 40mm offset - Problems with front strut??

Will the tires rub the underneath of the front upper wishbone???

Tyres have a square shoulder.

Anybody have experience of this tyre size/offset combo on a P11???

We needed 5mm spacers while ET35 worked great on our 15x8 with 225 45 15 for a reference

nightmare. 225/45-15 has a much small outside diameter than the 225/40-18 and you still had problem. I dont know how people can be using 225/40-18 with no problem.

this is wrong, i though that it might be Rim and Tire Fittment by Mep

okay, that rim and tyre guide is definitely not correct. I have put the 225/40-18 tires and and they rub the third link slightly on full lock. I have done a full write up of the pluses and minuses here >>> http://strikeengine.com/primera-p11infiniti-g20-22540-18-will-they-fit

My brothers g20 has 18x7.5 35 offset murano wheels with 215/40/18 tires and it all fit well. Don't know if 225's would fit without rubbing.
