The tires would be 225/40/18 and the wheels I'm considering are Axis Mods. Please let me know. Thanks!

You gotta go 19's when you get the Axis Mods. Although I feel they are WAY too popular on this forum. Shop around, you'll find there are thousands of wheels out there. And 18x7.5 with a 42 will NOT rub. Go with a 235/40/18 tire to stay the closest to stock diameter.

I have 18x7.5 +48 rims with 235/40ZR18s and a CT drop, plus 6mm temp. spacers for my BBK. I guess this is equivalent to a +42 offset. However, I'll be going to a 5mm custom spacer soon. No rubbing issues.
