Those wheels will poke 19.7mm more than the Vancouvers and be 5.7mm closer to the suspension on the inside.

If you want a bit of stretch then 225-40's should be fine, but my preference would be 235-40, as that will give a more upright side wall. It all depends how low you are going and how much outer arch clearance you need.

Arch clearance with right height is not a problem as its going on air so just want them to tuck when on the floor if they don't they don't i'll come up with something i was looking at 225/40/18 they came with 245's HUGE!

235's fit an 8.5" rim perfectly. I had a BMW in the past with 8.5" rims on the front, initially ran 225's which looked stretched, but that extra 10mm up to a 235 made them perfect

How perfect? I like a touch of stretch
