FSUsucks has pretty much the same clearance as you do now with his 18x9 +16's up front when you calculate the poke compared to your 9.5's +22. And he says he still has a little room left too.
You guys have been a great help, I appreciate it!!!!
i have Ichiba Extended studs all around with a 10mm spacer all around currently on my 350z wheels

I'm running arp extended studs with ichiba slip on spacers on my car.
My fenders are rolled in the front and shaved in the rear. The fronts could be rolled more and the rears still have a slight edge, so i can roll and pull if needed.
I found a few more pictures that might help you too.
19x9.5 +24 235/35 rolled fronts
19x10.5 +23 265/35 shaved rears

believe me I love the wheels. always wanted a set of stepped lip Works. im just afraid of spending $700 on tires that I cant return in case the fitment is not manageable. but i guess there is no reward unless i take risks, so maybe i should just bite the bullet and go for it.

If you're willing to never drive the car in the rain again you could just get some super sticky tires.

Well im only at 330hp and 338tq to the wheels now. But plan on cranking up the boost this spring. The car also has a TT auto diff, so i definitely need good tires for it. I want to semi-daily it in the summer, so rain will be unavoidable.

It's most likely a mid disk if you only need a 7 to 10mm spacer.
a 235/40/18 will work fine. You might rub going up driveways or over speed bumps with your wheels turned, but it's not that bad.
This is a 18x9 +12 with an oversized 245/40/18 on the front of my car (only picture I could find). It was a tight fit when aired out, but your car will never be that low.

I'll look through my notes to see if I documented any photos of the fitment when I get home tonight. The wheels were meant for a different build I was working on. I remember thinking they wouldn't clear my fenders if I aired out when I first saw them on the white SC, but they worked out fine. The tires on them were just too wide.

I didn't read all of the messages but I would say that's a fairly mild fitment for the stanced guys POV, but with not wanting to roll/pull and needing more meat for traction you'll need some great quality tires and in the perfect size. Good luck man, I bet it'll workout and look great.

This picture was from before fender work was done. I didn't like the 245/40/18 tires my friend mounted on the rims because they were a lot bigger than I would have liked. If these rims were for my SC I would have used 235/40/18 or 225/40/18. All that poke is from the large tire.
