Will these Tires Fit?

Will these tires fit on a 128 coupe without an modifications needed? I will be purchasing new 18" Rims

Front: Michelin Super Sport Pilot 225/40/18
Rear: Michelin Super Sport Pilot 245/40/18

I know the fronts are the factory size but the rear set is my concern. Thanks for any help you can give me

I just put the ASA GT5 wheels in black on my car, my tire fitments were 215/40/18 for fronts and 245/35/18 for rears, so your rears fit different than what I have.

What are the offsets of the wheels? 8/9" can work, but it will depending on the offsets.
