yes they will fit but it all depends on your drop and tire size. i'm on more aggressive wheels, though 19 but specs at x9 +6 and x10 -1, it fit with only natural camber and fender trim (not roll).

for reference, i'm on air but can roll 1/2" higher than this.

i'm on that exact width of tire, though again on 19 with 35-series, but remember not all tire brands are the same. some stretch better than others, even if it's the same size. for 18s i think that tire combo will work just fine.

that will do, and you can even be able to run some spacer in the rears. Im static, 18x9.5F and 10R with ET +20 front (i think) and 5 rear. all 225/40. I still have space for 3-5mm spacers.
fenders are rolled and stock arms with -3.2 front and -6.8 rear

Whats goin on yall? Well here is my baby, Im running 18x8 all around, but i would love to get some wider wheels in the back. I am debating on the same wheel, just wider or pinching pennies for a bit to pick up a set of vossens! And I have a set of tanabe lowering springs in the works. What do you guys think?

Thats what everyone says! I think its just the old struts and the fact that me and my buddy were sitting in it. haha Cause I purchased the car from and older lady who was the original owner and I highly doubt she lowered it. but thank you
