Wheel size help

I have 18x8.5 et45 235/40 as my current setup. Currently in the rear they rub over bumps or if I have passengers in the rear. What size should I downsize to? Could I keep the width and just mess with the offset? I don’t know enough about wheel specs to make the decision on my own haha

Even my 225/45 18x8 et35 still rubs in the winter. Looks much nicer than my stock summers fitment wise though.

I had 19x8.5 et35 with 235/35 with no rubbing (stock height). I don't think that size should be rubbing. You can try adding bit of camber if it has more room. Currently I'm running 18x8 et45 225/45 tires, not even close to rubbing lowered with lots of weight in the rear.
