Default Can Rims be to Big For Me

I have an FA5 with stock suspension and wanted to know if 18x8.5 tire sizes are 215/40/18 in the front, would scrap at all? and input would be helpfully thanks in advance.

What offset are the wheels? I would at least get some lowering springs, putting 18's with stock suspension is going to leave you looking like a truck.

Yeah but I bet those 245's look great, and I'm sure you found a way to move the filler neck.

I'm rocking +25 myself. I had to have the fenders rolled and cut to prevent rubbing. I lowered it on Sportlines and had the stock tires.
