Dunlop Star Spec Z1 & VMR V701 Question

I'm currently planning to pick up a set of 18" v701 for my 1'er with these specs:

front 8.5" et 45
rear 9.5" et50

I am also planning to pick up a set of star specs 225/255 to match up with the wheels as well. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this set up. I know that the SS runs fairly wide so I am a little concerned about rubbing issues. Any feedback / suggestions would be awesome!

A friend of mine has this. He is lowered on coilovers and his rear rubs occasionally. If he rolled his fenders he would be fine. On stock height you might be okay.

i have the Z1's in 225/255 on stock 18's, no rubbing issue.
Grip is amazing.

With how wide the SS run, you'll need some rear fender rolling.
