With those offsets and the car lowered I think even the 245/35R18 is going to rub. You are probably going to have to roll the fender lip and run more negative camber.

Something around 55 to 62 rear is going to give you a lot more room on the rear. The front 48 with a 215/40R18 and you would be fine.

I am running the Volk SF Challenge with a +48 offset (only way to make it fit) and I have the 245/35/18 BFG KDW2, no fender roll and a -2* camber, not lowered and still rub occasionally. So it will be a tight fit.

i'm running +48 front and +45 rear with 215/245. I'm lowered at least 1.5". Front doesn't rub. Rear rubs occasionally. I have UK alignment which has more negative camber. No rolled fenders
