Tires and lowered

Would a 235/40/18 fit on my lowered B5? has anyone run this size lowered?

ground to middle of fender. I think 235 should be ok if you're staying at at least 24" ground to fender. maybe a little less, maybe a little more, I dunno. stock non sport is around 27"

lowered on eibach sportlines w/koni shocks... RS4 wheels with 235/40-18's. They rub occasionally on deep dips in the road and the occational bumpy parking lot entrances.
