I don't see why you would have any problems with that setup.......

You will probably rub, a lot, on the front with that size tires and that offset.

You're better off with 225/40/18 all around.

The outside diameter of a 245/40/18 is 1.1" taller than OEM. That size can work, but be prepared to do a lot of front fender work. I doubt it would look good either. With those offsets, you should look at 225/40/18 or 215/40/18. Depending on how low your car is, you may need to roll the fronts. The rear should be sunk enough to go as is.
