Default I would say at a minimum you would need to roll your fenders.
I had a few rubbing issues with RXII's with 235/40-18's and had to roll my fenders...so...

I run 255/35-18 on a 30mm offset without problems, however your wheel/tire combo is about 9mm taller. If the car is not too low you might be able to pull it off. My ground to fender is 25.5.
