Will these wheels and tires work?

[NightRider97]

I did allot of searching and couldnt believe I didn't find any info on guys running a 18x8.5 wheel with a 35mm offset. I posted in another thread but no one replied.
So here it is again.

1. My car is a:
2g DSM

2. My wheel size is:
Diameter: 18"
Width: 8.5"
Offset: 35mm

3. My current or future suspension height will be lowered
Stock, and will not be lowered.

4. If suspension is lowered,
N/A

5. Rear fender flange rolling:
I do not want to roll fenders.

6. My driving style is:
Street and Autocross.

7. I have searched for and read the FAQ's, Tech Articles, and threads on wheel and tire fitment:
Yes, but I just need someone with experience to validate my choices.

I would really like to fit 245/40/18's. I didn't really find a whole lot of info on these tires with this offset and width of wheel.
As I said, my car is not lowered and it never will be, it sits close enough to the ground as it is. I just want a wider wheel with some meat to the tire and a polished lip for style.
The wheels I want to get are the Stern ST-5 style. I found a set locally that have a 20mm offset but I don't see any hope of ever getting that to fit.
Also another question, would the 245/40/18's stick out of the wheel wells and fenders?
Thanks in advance!

Heres the fitment I had running 245/40/17's on the Evo IX 17x8's that have a 38mm offset and my cars lowered. I don't think you'll have fitment issues at all running 18's if your not going to change the stock ride height.

Wow, thanks for the response man. Awesome car by the looks of it too! Looks like they fill out the wheel wells perfectly.
