I believe it.

With the 225s on 16x8x35, I get a small beep in REALLY hard cornering,
when the inboard side of the tire touches the control arm bushing.

Since your offset is an additional 10mm further in, I can see where
you would hit inboards. This also explains why you had no problem
outboards in the rear.
