With the stock tire on the front no lift,,(the front stock rim is 7.5 wide) -----225/40-18 is 25.1 tall & side wall of 8.9.
I have 235/40-18 on the front of my V8 (I did not put them on) I just changed to a 18x8.5 rim, et 30 with the 225/40-18
the stock rear rim is 19x9 wide . my new rear rims will be 19x9.5 et 28
I also have a rear set for the rear 18x9.5-18 tire is a 265/40-18 at 26.4 tall. :note the 235/35-19 are10.8 side wall & 26.6 tall perfect tire for the rear
Good luck with your set up, they should work great, just remember not to hit the turning stops when making a u-turn
