The fronts will fit fine, proper tires would be 225/40 or 235/40 18. The rears will be EXTREMELY CLOSE with 275 tires, it will come down to exact tire model and camber settings. Most likely, you will have to roll the rear fenders. Forget the 18x11, you don't need it for almost any kind of driving and it will be a bitch to make it work.

Hope you like understeer.

EDIT: With an 18x10 wheel, you can also run a 285/30 18 tire, which equals the stock tire diameter. Then I hope you REALLY like understeer.

You won't need aftermarket trailing arms (not toe links) to clear with those wheels, it's the fender lip that becomes the problem. Running an 18x10 +40 offset wheel is pushing the boundaries there, period. You'll probably clear with a 265/35, but I wouldn't guarantee it.
