Help: Will 225/40/18 fit 8.5x18 et38?

Hi guys. I'm planning to get a set of wheels with front setup of 8.5x18 et38. Do you think I can fit 225/40/18 Michelin PSS on that? I'm running stock suspension and height. No plan to drop the car.

The set is coming in few days but tires still a month away, so it will be better for me to ask for you guys help before buying a set of tires.

Comments and thoughts are always welcome. Please help guys.

Thanks!

Offset is 2mm more aggressive than I'd recommend in the front than I'd really recommend with that 225/40/18. 2mm isn't a big difference though, so I'm thinking you won't have any major issues. It'll just be fairly aggressive in terms of the outer position of the wheels.

I know most of the time the minimum recommended offset for 225/40/18 is et40 but on et38 that shouldn't be a problem right? Since the increase is less than an inch. Do you mean it will poke out more? That's totally fine to me as long as it doesn't poke out too much and make my car looks like jdm style car, haha

This is our 18x8.5 ET40 front.



This car has been lowered, and may be running more negative camber than yours will have. Your wheels will stick out 2mm further than this (approximately, depending on the camber in this photo).

Okay. Any idea what's his camber setup? I might have to pull the pin if the stock camber is not enough or simply put dinan plates to add -.7. Does he shaved or rolled the fender? Let me know. Thanks

Do I need camber plates to fit this tires? Or I'm fine as long as I'm on stock height and suspension?
