235/40 Rubbing?

How bad will a 235/40 R18 winter mounted on style 189 rub up front?

Any experience or advice?

Regards,

I don't think that will ever rub.

Regards,
These should not rub and are actually fairly common to run as a winter tire size.

I'm running on 235/40/18 Dunlop Star Specs mounted to the 193M wheels in the front. My car isn't lowered, and I don't have any rubbing.
