..with 225/45/18 for all four corners. Will this combo fit the car well?
Most importantly, will this setup clear the big brake kit from Stillen/etc.?

I understand that our cars will not need bigger tires in the rear, but a friend of mine is interested in buying a wheel set with the spec above.

Is this safe (load rating wise, tire to rim fitment, and handling)?

The clearance for the brakes will be determined by the design of the wheels.

Agreed. 225s on a 9.5" wheel will look retarded, if you can get the bead to even seal. 225-40-18s are recommended to be used on a 7-8.5" wheel.
