Offset Question - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

is anyone running 45mm offset on 225/40/18 with a dropped 6. Is there any rubbing, is fender rolling neccessary?

Offset and tire size information are nothing without the wheel width. Yes, people are running +45 offset with 225/40/18's... but you still need to mention the width of the wheel.

18 x 7.5 wheels

I'd say it'd rub. I'm running a +52 offset with 225/40-18s and my fenders arent rolled. The other day I think I rubbed when I hit a huge dip so I assume you would. Sorry man

Yep, it'll rub if you don't roll your fenders.

there are people that have that same setup and no rubbing, but there are also some that have rubbing, if you put a 215 tire on instead of 225 you will have less of a chance of rubbing.

For clarity, that's 215/45R18. 215, 225, etc. doesn't mean a whole lot without the aspect ratio.
