Default Te37 Fitment Question

I just picked up some Volk Te37's and I have searched around the forum and found no specific answers to my questions. I have a 06 silverstone that is currently in storage. but I plan to roll both the front and rear fenders, as well as relocate the bumper tabs and trim the rear bumper. I will be lowered on T1R coils as low as I can with the wheels I have. The Te37's specifications are as follows:
17"x7.5" Fronts
Offset: +40
18"x9" Rears
Offset: +40
I am looking to wrap these wheels in
235/40/17 fronts
275/30/18 rears
First off I am wondering will this keep the rolling radius the same as stock? As for fitment, I am looking to have -3 chamber all around, will these wheels fit pretty flush with the fenders?

Thanks in advance

What tire is available in 275/30/18? I'd go with 225/45/17 front and 255/35/18 rear, very close to stock diameter and IMO is a better fit for your wheel width/offset. "Flush" seems to mean different things to different people, but yes they should be flush.

Sorry i meant 275/35/18, i know those tire sizes would be most like stock however I would like to go slightly larger on the rears, would the 275 fit okay without a huge bulge or am I going to look at problems that way? Would just rolling the fenders/ relocating the bumper tabs etc, be enough with this offset or may I need to pull fenders?

You are going to have issues in the rear with just a 9" and at that aggressive of an offset even with your plans for fender mods. A 275/30 would be much closer to stock radius and match to the front 235/40 just fyi. 235 is a bit wide for the the front 7.5 rim as well. Your going to be bulging all over the place front and rear, and with your aggressive offsets you really are going to have rubbing issues. I agree with 225/45/17- 255/35/18 as your best option given your rim width and offset.

This assessment is taken in account the -3 camber front and rear as well.

I think you should be ok with just a role tab relo and some camber.
