Rubbing issues on 18x8.5

I am about to mount my 18x8.5 42mm offset rims with 245/40/18. Am I going to run into any problems? Becuz I'm thinking 42mm offset on 18x8.5 245/40 is over doing it. Did I make a bad choice? Oh yeah i'm 4th gen dropped on Progress. Thanks everybody on the .org

I highly recommend you put 5 mm spacers in the back, although not required.

5mm spacers ehh? You think I should run the H&R ones or the ones at Autozone/Pepboys? Anybody know the advantages/disadvantages of each of these spacers?

Oh yeah whats a good tire pressure to run? Front and rear.... street/twisties/drag racing? Thanks
