 Don't let anyone tell you it is ricey. I have seen it on tC and it looks good.

Do you have a drop and or audio in the rear?

The front will work for sure use 215/40/18, about .10 inch taller than stock, or 225/40/18, about .5 inches taller than stock. I might even suggest a 5mm spacer to push the wheel out a little more flush to the fender since it is a 45mm offset using 7.5 wide rim.

The rear will work without issue if you have not drop but with drop and or audio weight some issue might need dealt with. The 8.5 wide rim will be almost flush with the fender using the 38mm offset. The tire will determine the need to roll the rear lip or not. I would love to see and know with little work a 245/35/18, about .14 inch tall than stock, or 235/35/18, about .14 inch shorter than stock, but could use 225/40/18, this size will stretch the tire to max. I have 225/35/19 on 8.5s and they are stretch so much the rim guard on the tire is not able to protect.

And if you are like me 255 or 265 can work with rear fender lip rolled and maybe some other small wheel well mods.

My choice would be 215/40/18 in front and 245/35/18 in rear since they are closes in diameter to each other and would look really good in the staggered look.
hope this helps good luck
