Default Will 275/40/18's rub w/18X9 evo's?

I'm trying to fill up the wheel wells a little, but I'm wondering if the taller tire size 275/40/18 will rub the front?

Opinions?

Yeah, I just got the eibach pro kit, and now after looking at some more pics I'm thinking I should have gone with the sportlines.

So, now it's either cut the prokit coils, or get a taller tire to fill up the unwanted space........

275/35/18 is the proper size for our cars. Its the same diameter as a stock tire. 40s look too tall.

How much drop is the prokit?
I've got BMR springs (1.75" drop) and 275/35/18 on my evo's... I think it looks perfect but just my opinion!
