Just saw this add and wanted to add my 2 cents.
dunlop lm and p series are Japan's choice for stretch tires. Sidewalls are awesome on these. Falkens have known to stretch very well as well. We have done 225 on a 9.5 with no issues.

Well, here's a bit more fitment info.
I just put these wheels on a SC with great results!
18x9 +13 225/40 tire
18x10 +7 245/40 tire
Front fits with no isses what-so-ever.. it actaully needs small spacer to make it even with the rear. (I'd say about 5-8mm spacer)
Rear fits perfect with a GOOD roll, no pull needed. You will need to spend a lot of time making sure the lip of the fender is completely flat, as it's a very very close fit. And under normal driving conditions it doesn't rub, unless you hit a rather large bump.. and it's only a small rub. Haven't really tried to take any turns at speed but I would imagine it would rub, nothing a slight pull wouldn't fix
Anways, just wanted to keep you guys updated. I'll get pics if needed.

Yea, I'll try and get some better "fitment" shots sometime this week. I didn't take any of those pics, so i wasn't able to get good ones.
