Too tight up front, IMO...
No problem in the rear, as long as width / offset is close.

Not going to fit up front with stock suspension.

7.0", +42 is too tight with that tire size.

7.5", +42 will hit the inside strut.

8.0", +42 will hit the inside strut.

8.5", +42 will hit the inside strut.

9.0", +42 will hit the inside strut.

Well, you get the picture...

18" x 8.0", +30 would be ideal.
You can run a 225 or 235 wide tire on there.

Those kinds of offsets and widths are not easy to find.

My 225/55/16's rub in the front and drag around sharp corners. So Id guess a 245/40/18 would as well.
