Im not too certain about the ASM front fenders fitting 18/8.5 +22. Im currently running a 17/9 +22 on J's wide front fenders but they're 40mm wide compared to the ASM 25mm. I plan on making 17/9 +22 fit in the rear with an ASM rear over fender but it's gonna require some cutting of the rear quarter panel. Overall I think it's gonna be difficult to fit those size rims with ASM front fenders but it could probably be done with some modification

You would still have to roll the fender lips and probably run more negative camber. The fender is still behing there and the 22 mm offset is going to stick out past the fender edge.

Law, these sizes would fit but I really recomend to trim the rear quater for more clearance and you should also trim the inner lip of the overfenders to get the true 25mm that it offers. The front will work with camber.
