18x8 18x9 +36mm will it fit?

Thinking about going:
F-18x8 +36mm, 215/40/18
R-18x9 +36mm, 225/40/18

Thinking about buying some SSR Vienna Spoke in these sizes. Tires will be falken 512. What do you guys think about this wheel and tire combo?

3.2 or 2.5? I've got a 3.2 and I currently got 18X8 wrapped on 225/40/18

One question, why staggered on a FWD? Anyhow, you'll have to roll your fenders for those to fit/not stick out. I had 16x8, +38mm, 225 tyre and it was rubbing pretty badly in the rear. If they offer that rim with an offset of +40 or higher, then it'd fit a bit better. I'm not sure about that 9 fitting, though. Oh, and put 225s all around, works a treat.

~Cheers~

P.S. 999th post!

it got that old school feel to it.

So proably going to do the 225's sounds about right.
