A 215 and 245 will work fine. I would still say there you may need to roll the fronts when you lower it. You'll have to watch for any signs of rubbing and I saw watch because it is hard to hear the fronts rubbing.

Hey guys, just looking for some insight on fitment. I plan on getting some Te37SL 18x9.5 +45 squared. Do you think I'll have any issues running 225/40 on the fronts and 255/35 on the rears? I'm currently on coils and have my fenders pulled and rolled with the bumper tab relocated. Thanks!

Yeah, the problem is putting a 225 width on a 9.5. Its borderline dangerously overstretched. Considering you have the fronts pulled, you should be able to run the minimum width option for the rim size, which is a 245/35, just make sure your running enough camber to tuck ( -2.5 to -3) and your good on the 255/35 for the rear.

So if I ran 245/35 in the fronts with -3 negative camber I should be good with slight rubbing? I have options of going 18x9 +45 for the fronts as well. Would this be a better decision then going 245's in the fronts? Thanks again.

The 9 +45 will stick out 7mm less then the 9.5, which would be a better looking/performing fit for the front, but id still run the 245, its the perfect pairing with just the right amount of stretch. 225/40 on a 9" is ok, but its a better mate on a 17" where there is more sidewall and generally a slightly wider section width vs the 18" counterpart.

Yes for the front, no for the rear. You want your original 9.5 +45 for the rear, not +40.
