I also Confirm that this will fit. I have the same specs on michelin supersports no rub. However just be sure you don't wanna out your car on springs, if you decide to down the line you'll have to roll your fenders. A decision I'm currently contemplating myself.

Probably just gonna be on stock height due to too many potholes and broken roads here in Toronto. However its good to know later on if I want to lower it.

Been my setup through two sets of tires. When given the option to go lowering springs, I prefered the 255/40 look and feel.

Looking like a beast with those wheels. Also with 255/40 I feel there's more peace of mind when driving and not bending an OEM wheel.

I've got Indy 500s in 255/40 on 18x9.5 +38, stock suspension.

No rub even when full load (so far anyways).

I heard Indys hydroplane in heavy rain, how is your experience in them?
