I thought so too... I have a hard time finding some wheels that will fit just to the fender, Im not really into pulling or rolling the fenders. I have found some wheels with 8.5 ET35 both front and rear. Do you think it is possible to make it fit or will they poke too much?

An example on the Suspension forum with the same specs:

Front fenders tend to roll themselves when the tire contacts. However the front bumper tab will need to be ground down. Rear is hard to solve because the fenders are really well constructed. I don't know if your smaller tire size of 245/40/18 will be enough to avoid problems. I guess it will still rub at full compression. Venders normally say that ET45 9.5" rear wheel will work with a 245 tire. But ET35 wheel is a further 10mm more aggressive, so the rear looks like a problem.
