First off, welcome to the club. Im just going to answer your Q for you.
Fitting those rims will include a lot of tire stretching, fender pulling, and camber. Those specs are aggressive as hell.
Now for any other questions you have, just use the search function at the top because threads a big thread on wheel fitment for the 2nd gen GS alone.
Heres the thread

18x12 in the rear? Even the 18x10 up front is questionable... No offense but holy shizz man, that's TOO wide for our cars, especially a 300 that has no power to back those ridiculously wide tires...Not sure you realize it, but most I've seen run 9-9.5" wide up front and maybe 10-10.5" wide wheels rear -- and those look scary. That 18x12 stuff belongs on a drag racer or something LOL. But if you can make it work, more power to ya.
I run EZ Street on my GS400 too, with the car sitting about 1.5" lower than stock, and 3 clicks out from max stiff setting on all 4 corners (for now). Rides a bit stiffer than could be but doesn't seem to bottom out and with a few exceptions, does not scrape speed bumps or crooked driveways unless I go faster than 5 mph.
Definitely research a bit more before purchasing stuff for the car man, looks like you got something serious going on in the front end there. I didn't know Megan made adjustable camber LCA?

Your offset for the rear is ridiculous though. If you're running wide wheels you should go positive.

Everybody calm down. With the right offsets and tire size you can make it happen. I'm going to run 18X11 +12 on the front and 18X13 +7 on the rear. I've already done a test fit and surprisingly you can fit a lot of wheel inside those wells. I test fit the rear with a 295/30/18.
Your offset for the rear is ridiculous though. If you're running wide wheels you should go positive.
