The rears will work without any issues, if its 18x8 all around.

But for the fronts, eh...here read all about this post and learn

P.S. if your not signed in over there, just use my username as a referral. Its the same over there.

FYI... Also, just do research on the wheel specs in the wheel/tire section. There are many stupid Aholes over there that will give noobs a hard time(flame).

215/40/18's on all four wheels.
Roll all four fenders.
Run a 10mm spacer in the rear

Then you can rotate all four wheels and still be flush front and rear.

You'll need to roll all fenders, fronts will be fine possibly without a roll, I run 18x8 +23 fronts with no rolled fenders and I sit pretty low, I rub a little but not too much

I ran 18x8 +13 in the front on stretched tires. Depends on what tire size you use it can work. I had 215/35 in the front slammed on Tein flex. I had to do a little fender roll on mines though. rears should fit at ease. I used 18x9 +23 in the rear with a roll n it had no problems. 225/40 slammed more than the front haha.
