Well what is the spring constant rate? I have 225/40/18 and no rubbing, and it would not rub with 45's because the tein ss wouldn't allow it. However, are you planning on driving with three wheels with 225/40/18 tires and one wheel with 225/45/18?
If that's the case get 225/40/18. Not because of clearance issue, but because you car will lean to one direction.

 

No no i will switch 2 of the tires to 225/45/18, im getting a really good deal on the tires 4 for 200 Canadian roughly 160 US and they have more than 80% tread left.

So I would be swapping two of them, I have no rubbing issues at all right now, so im wondering if increasing the sidewall by 5mm will affect anything.

Im also running HR sports front bump stops have not been removed either.

Thanks for the quick response, I wanna go grab these tires in an hour if theyw ill work
