Has anybody ran this setup before? Can you post pics?
I'm sure someone has, should be no problem, but it depends on the offset, and the particular wheel you want to use if you have a Type-S (because of the Brembo's).

Yes that's the reason why I'm thinking about it. The rear on the TL are nice and beefy haha so I think bigger wheels would look nice
I'm currently running a similar set up, 18.8 w/ 225/40 front & 19x9.5 w/ 235/35 rear. My old set up was 19.8.5 w/ 215/35 & 19x9.5 w/ 235/35 rear. The reason I switch was because my front wheel bent & couldn't be saved when I hit a pot hole, running a 215/35 tire was violent on the front end w/ pot holes, speed bumps, etc. So I wanted more meat up front & decided to go w/ 18s, plus I still wanted to keep my staggered look. Discount tire calculated a 18 w/ 225/40 up front would give me and overall same wheel height w/ my 19s in the rear. So now my front end ride quality is much better w/ a beefy tire, but the rear is still pretty violent.
