I have read several threads about sizes and offsets and I am 99.9% certain that what I am going to get will fit but I wanted to get some opinions on the sizes that I am getting;
18 X 8.5 front + 40 offset
18 X 9.5 rear +35 offset
How will these fit in relation to the fenders front and rear? I am going with the +35 offset in the rear to try to get a little more lip. Also, will the stock tires fit these sizes? I have seen different posts about what will what size rim and I am certain that the stock front tires will fit the 8.5 but, will the stock rear tires fit the 9.5 rear wheel width?
Again, I am just looking for some conformation before I buy. Thank guys (and ladies)!

Front offset is too high....this will push the front wheel "in" 4mm more than stock (if you have touring/performance 18's).
Rear offset is decent....nothing aggressive though.
A 245/45/18 is not wide enough for a 9.5 inch rim. 9 inches is the max width you can run safely. I'm sure it would fit, but you're pushing it, big time.
