The rear should be no problem. If anything, it might be a little recessed. The fronts should be OK too. rominl is running x8.5 +32 up front. You are x8 +35 which is like x8.5 +41. I have x8.5 +43 in front. I think rominl rolled the front fender. I did it too only because I have 20s and dropped a lot more than the L-Tuned. I did it only as an extra measure but I don't think I would need it.

You are only 2 mm away from my setup so I think you'll be OK with 18s and your drop.
