They should fit your car just fine

Fronts: 245/40/18
Rears: 275/35/18

Edit, there might be slight rubbing - but if it is not camber corrected it more than likely will be fine.

Post pics when done

you dont necessarily want neg camber.Get them on the car, get an alignment and go from there.

How much have you lowered the car?

I have that setup on my car and I run 285's on back. My car is lowered with eibach's and agx's so I'm probably not as low as you. I get a tiny amount of rubbing on a large bump or under a hard launch.
You'll probably want to roll the fenders and you'll be fine.
