That will certainly be aggressive. You will need to pull the fenders out and run some negative camber and the tires will be a little stretched. The tires are also about 1" taller than stock so your speedometer, odometer and gear ratio will also be off. With the drop I would think they may bottom out as well.
I would not recommend that fitment.

:confused It's actually only about 5mm larger than stock.

I read the tire size wrong. The height of the tire is fine. The problem is the offset of the wheel and the width. They are not going to fit without fender modification.

What offset would you recommended without fender work. I want 18x9 with 225/40/18. My fenders are rolled but im not trying to do fender work

You need to be around a 45mm offset.

If you know all your measurements now, bust out the tape measure and figure it out yourself.

It would be close to stock. To fit a 9" wide wheel on the car that is what you are going to need.

I don't want it stick though. I want my rims flush with my fenders

Even with a 45mm offset wheel you will need to have the fender lips rolled and or run more negative camber. With a 22 mm offset the wheels stick out andother inch further.
