If you're not dropped or lowered, you'll be fine. I have the same size wheels but just slightly different offsets, and I'm lowered on Hotchkis springs. I've never had issues with the fenders.

BTW, nice wheels.

No rubbing. Not unless you plan on jumping small hills with it like they do in the movies.

Nice choice in wheels OP

As Dave said you should be fine as long as you don't go too crazy with tire sizes.
I would go 255-40-18 & 285-40-18 front and rear tire sizes

Since your car is already in the shop getting repainted have the shop roll your rear fenders just in case

just an fyi: your wheel width is not directly related to any vdc issues. you will only run into problems if you change the diameter ratio between the front and rear tires. again, i have 18x10 on all 4 corners with 255 front and 275 rear.

additionally, even if you believe that the width of the wheel matters, you could still screw up the ratio

a 255/40 is fine for the front, but if you do 285/40 for the rear, you will be 1.1% too slow. whereas, a 275/55 rear will only be .1% too fast. basically, a 285 will read 60 mph when you are actually traveling 60.7 mph. whereas a 275 will read 60.0 mph when you are actually traveling 60 mph.

it doesn't seem like much of a difference but remember the vdc works of the abs sensor so if the rear wheels spin at different speeds than the front then it will trigger the vdc to go off.

much simpler solution is to delete the vdc

or you can do some homework and use this link to figure out proper ratios:

yes, fenders were rolled, but i also have spacers on to widen the stance.

please note that i had a typo in my previous response. i meant to say 275/40, not 275/55.

also, i'm not trying to sell you on getting wider wheels or anything. i am just merely educating you that the wheel width is not the determinant of vdc problems. you can choose whatever width wheel you want for the front and back, just make sure that you mate tires to it that don't change the initial ratio and you'll be a-okay.

good luck!
