They should fit! But check the offset of the wheels if it's 42mm offset then it will fit. If it's 38mm it will rub the fender!

I had 42 mm offset with 215 instead of 225. But 225 shoud fits okay I think

Then you should not have any problems. I have 225s on the front with a 3mm spacer on a 42mm offset and they have a really good fit. :thumbup:

You should be fine. I have a friend with the exact same car with a set of RH C2 Evo's in 18x7.5" with 225/40/18's and he isn't rubbing (I think that it's a +40mm offset).

Yes for sure. It will handle better and better traction. It will be a very stiff ride. But your car will be abit slower because of the weight.
