Yes. That was my track tire size and offset, but on 8.5", and absolutely no issues - see sig pic.

Default With new brake pads they won't clear the calipers,
The inner arm looks tight but no rubbing there.

Default Correct. The Works Emotions in the sig pic are et 42 or 43. I'm currently trying 245/40 and
had to go with 3 or 4mm spacers to clear the rear suspension arms and roll the front fenders.

I had rubbing under significant compression with my street setup of 235/40 on 18x8, et 35; ride height is 25.625/25.75. Have not put the streets back on since rolling the fenders.

Default Probably, but check tire rack for diameters. stock is 25", 235/40/18 is 25.4" and
245/40/18 is 25.7". So the math should work for your choice
