Will this combo work ok (with rolled fenders if necessary)?

F 18x8.5 235/40
R 18x9.5 265/35

KYB AGX with B and G springs (1.5" drop) at all corners

Fronts you will have trouble with .You will need +30 mm or (even a few mm lower offset) or at least a 5mm spacer to clear the strut but that depends of the tire profile as some tires with the same specs are "blockier" then others.Also will probably need to roll the fender lip depending how low the car is.A 225/?/18 tire would be easier.Backs are no problem though, maybe a slight fender lip roll.
