18" wheels....No idea what offset.... 285/35R-18 Michelin Pilot MXM's rear, 245/40R-18 front.

I have H&R springs and Koni Yellows...will these rims be too big even with rolled fenders?

The answer is a definite "maybe" without offset info. With offset info, the guys here can at least give you a "probably yes" or "probably no"

not much we can tell you without knowing the offsets. 275s almost always fit in the rear without rubbage.. 285s sometimes will, depends on the tires and drop... rolling the fenders should allow a 285 rear

Yep, knowing the offsets is a must. The fronts are almost 1" larger in diameter over stock, so adjustable coilovers and rolling the fenders will probably be needed (assuming the offsets are within range). And with the 285s out back (10" wide wheel?), you may need aftermarket trailing arms/toe links to clear.
