They will work just fine. Running the 225/45 R18 will be stretched a little because of 8.5" width rim, but you are right on the approved rim width for the 225/45 R18. The approved rim width for the 225/45 R18 is from 7.0 to 8.5. The +40 offset will do just fine on your sedan, and you should not have any problems with rubbing. If you would like, you can go with either a 235/40 R18 or 245/40 R18 and still be close to the stock rolling diameter.

An 8.5" wide with a +40 offset wheel will stick out. I remember seeing Jon's sedan with his RonJons and they were 8.5" wide with a +42 offset and they stuck out. My 8" wide +45 offset wheels are perfectly flush, so a wider wheel and a lower offset will stick out further from the hub. I'm not sure if the v2 sedans are going to be different from the v1, but I would guess they will not fit properly unless you run more negative camber than you would want.

That makes a huge difference Mark. Anyway, a +45 offset is much better than a +40. They may stick out a little bit in the front, but I think you'll be okay.

yep, +45 would just be perfect. i'm running 235/40's on my rear rim w/ the same offset and i don't rub. so if you run 225/45 tire on a 8.5, it would just be fine. front would stick out abit, rim wise, tires would be a bit stretched. but yeah, it's all good.

Pshhh. If I had some 18"x8.5" wheels, I'd be running 265/35/18's. I'd modify the fender and quarter panel to make them fit.

Tim thinks like me. Why get extra wheel width just to run a stretched tire? Wouldn't make any sense. Put some meat on it pal.

I think you will be right at flush depending on how low you are, Mark. When I was lowered 2.25", my front tires stiuck out about 1/2", but now that I am lowered 4" the rim actually tucks a bit, Tim's my witness. Something about the design in our suspension causes the wheels to be "drawn in" the lower you go. It's not all camber either. The suspension mechanism actually pulls the wheel in the lower you go. Absolute engineering phenomenon if you ask me.
