Default GS 18" wheel fitment - experts please help

OK, what are the possibilities of this fitting a 98+ GS with L-Tuned? Would any mods need to be done? A very aggressive setup from a Supra.

Blitz Type 03
F - 18X9 (22H, +38, +41H, +45) 5X114.3 - 245/40/18
R - 18X10 (+22H, +45) 5X114.3 - 285/35/18

On the 18x9 front, you can do the +41H or the +45...maybe even the +38...

On the rear, even with a +45, you MIGHT rub with a 285 if you have it low enough and depending on which tire you run...

My opinion:

1. you will almost have to run the high disk on the front, so the 41H is the best choice.

2. you might need some fender rolling to run the 285 setup in the rear (about a 50/50 chance, depends on the actual car)

Here's a pic of the wheels on the Supra. I believe it has Sumitomo HTRZ II.

I must be missing something because I thought they were Sumitomo HTRZ II tires...not rims....
