I am running a 19 x 9.5 +38 in the rear and they are perfect. I did have to roll the fenders but not much.

I had to roll & pull the fenders about +1.5" to get them to fit.

I don't drive with these wheels (show only) because they are far too expensive to drive with on crappy philly roads.

With a moderate drop, the fronts will be a little sunk, and the rears will be either flush or a tiny bit sunk. If your car is slammed, your wheels will be sunk. My wheels have the same specs. I have Figs Mega Arms in back, so I'm only running about -1 degree camber. You should be good with 225/40/18 and 245/35/18.

Front: 225/40/18


Rear: 235/40/18

Very nice rim choice, post up some pictures when you get the setup finished.
