probably... well i guess it depends how the goldlines are. is the rear gap the same as the front? or is the rear gap smaller? i have same tires on neuspeed sports, 1 finger gap all around but no camber kit.. it seems like if i wanted a camber thats within spec, i would have problems rubbing. 40 series is too big for 18s anyways.. i'd say go with 35s, 40s would look ok if you have a kit but ya 35s would look better.

ive got the sedan springs going on the coupe, since i know that the sedan have a higher rear, and thats where the camber gets messed up the most. i drive quite a bit so i want all the rubber i can fit.

I have 215/40/18's with Neuspeed sport springs. It's very close to the edge of the lip on the fender well but has never rubbed. I'd be more concerned about the front on hard corners. I've already ripped 2 of the little plastic clips out of the plastic front inner fender liner on both sides of my car. I don't seem to have that problem now because I threw my Ground Controls back in the front (stiffer springs).

do you have a camber kit with the correct camber? cause it seems like it would rub if you have correct camber, i have the same setup with no camber kit so i'm fine.

neuspeed sports drop about 1.75" same as the goldlines. 1 finger gap all around with 215-40-18 tires. with the old coupe goldlines on coupe, expect like a 1 finger gap in the front and none in the back. but i think with sedan springs on a coupe, it'll be 1 finger gap all around. goldlines are coming out with a new designed coupe springs in 2 days and they should even out the gap. oh and those figures were with my tires..
