i have pretty much the same wheel specs except i'm staggered at 18x8.5 and 18x9.5
got 25mm all around it's pretty ridiculous, definitely need to do fender mods though, and take into account that the coils will sink a bit.

everyone has the same issues so no worries, you just have to take the time to do the fender mods neccessary. i have yet to do the fender mods, i've had my coils for a little over a month. once i get my hands on a heat gun i'll be all over it.
i've asked around a lot and if you're on coils or even slammed for that matter, there's a few things that need to be done. remove screw that holds bumper to fender, bend the tab in, either relocate and zip tie or just zip tie to bent tab. last thing you must do to get a nice smooth ride is to basically melt the fender liner with a heat gun and roll fenders if neccessary. just basically heat up the liner to the point where you can just push it with an object (rock, anything but your hand, etc.) then cool it down by spraying ice cold water on it so it will hold it's shape. Doing all this will allow you to go up and down driveways sideways without having your wheels stall from hitting your fender liner.
if there's anyone in the bay area (CA) that wants to do fender mods hit me up!
