New Rims need confirmation on tyre size.

[Durandal]

I bought some new Volk GTS Rims, 18x9 +43 and 18x10 +43 for my JDM supra which has the factory bilstein shock option. I've asked around about tyre size and have got a couple recommendations and looked at some charts but am still terrified of ordering a tyre that will rub or won't fit.

 

235/40 R18 for the front

285/35 R18 for the rear

 

This is one of the recommendations from where I got the wheels (US) source. Unsure if the car being JDM with the stock 16" wheels would have an affect on them.

 

Any help or recommendations appreciated. You guys know more about JDM than most of the other forums.

Yah I found that in a search but I'm more inquisitive about the height of the tyre and that only shows width. Fenders are not rolled or cut and I would like to stay away from having to modify them.
