I am trying to fit these wheels on with a 15mm adapter, http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/sto...2163009256/163 . My question is will they fit and if they do will I have to fender roll.

Wheel secs are
Front 8.5Jx18 +20 / Rear 9.5Jx18 +35
plus the 15mm adapter

does anyone know?

yes they will fit, no you won't need to roll fenders

just make sure the adapters are 74.1 hubcentric

They will fit but I have to believe the rear is going to need a fender lip roll and some negative camber.

Thanks so much for the help guys. Here is the good link http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/stock/1/2/1012163009256/163 . Hey Jim@tirerack I will be ordering some tires for these soon.

I would run a 235/40R18 front and 265/35R18 in the rear.

Is there a reason for running 40R in the front and 35R in the rear? I plan on running the Continental Extreme DWS.

rear is wider than the front 265/40 would be too high

The second number in the tire size is a percentage of the width. So as the tires get wider the second number has to go down to jkeep the height the same.
