im pretty sure it wont rub, as long as you have the correct offset, and since its not dropped. people run 18s on alot of 1st gen CLs

if you don't drop it the 225/40-18 will not rub at all... even with 1 or 2 inch drop you probably won't rub either depending on your offset. If you ride mexican style with your tires sticking out from the fender about 3 inches you might rub...

my rims are 40+ offset and i rub with 225/40/18, i was telling him today that the 35series is more likely to bend your rim than the 40

Yup. My rims have 40mm offset. But I think that's as far as you can go. 38mm offset will most likely rub.
