I'm pretty sure those won't fit at all. I ran 18x8 +22/18x9 +22 and it was poking out the fender. I was rubbing consistently just driving on the freeway and I ended up having to flip the face in order to not hate driving. I ran 225/40/18 and 245/40/18.

18x10 +5/+10 seems insane. You're going to be poking out around 1.5 inches past the fender with just the rim.

With a 10” wide rim, you can get something along the lines of 255/35.

It's not the width, it's mostly the offset that's aggressive. It would be a big fender pull, but what the guy above said ^^^ should be fine for tires.
