Seems like the fronts will fit great with no spacers - Bosxtaboy has those fronts. It sounds like rears would need maybe 15 mm spacers.

The wheels are available with tires, which are the following sizes:
  • 235/40/18
  • 265/40/18

Can anyone comment on these wheels/offsets/tire sizes on the stock suspension? I'm especially unsure on the tires.

Thanks in advance!

It's only when someone raises the issue of 11 inch wheels, does my jumpsuit get in a frazzle. Anyway, the fronts will fit ok, but +49 with an 8 inch wheel may or may not give you the aggressive stance that you're looking for. The rear offset is definitely way too high. Your thoughts about using a 15mm spacer are on target. As far as the tires are concerned. IMO, 235/275 would provide a better balance than 235/265. Regardless, the aspect ratio on the rear tires is off. It should be 35 not 40.
