Sorry for the late reply to all of you!! The car drives fine other thant the fronts rubbing the chassis on dips and bumps due to tall sidewall. The fitment on the rears is spot on no rubbing unless im full turning over a bump or angling out of my driveway.
The space between the quarter panel and the tire itself is about 3 credit cards put together!! Lol
Im lower on powertrix coilover and they are set on 16 clicks.
I dont drive the car everyday but i have drove it like 3 time since these are on!!
Im open to suggestions on the tires since i dont have them yet i was gonna swap with a friend!! 225/35 would be better?

On my 18x11.5 I'm going to run a 255/35
but right now, I think you'll be fine with a 225/40 in front since the offset isn't too crazy. Just make sure not to buy tires that run wide.

I remember seeing a pick of someone with a 225/35 on the front. It looked kind of odd. More odd than usual. Also, the weight limit on that size tire is starting to push it if you ever have passengers.

As for weight limit, I have never heard about that being an issue.
Legend In My Own Mind
That is always on my mind because I used to work for Bridgestone. Close to the weight limit the tires can overheat and separate. Running the tires even slightly low on air pressure exaggerates this and boom. No issues though if you are parked.
