Tire questions

i have a set of new wheels and the specs are 18x9.5 +38
my question is will the tire size of 235 / 40 or 245 / 40 have trouble fitting on stock suspension? I cant get coils just yet so i'm planning on sticking to stock for a month or so. im currently looking at a set of Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 245/40-18 XL Tire. please advise!
thank you so much for taking your time and reading this post!

It really depends of the tires, but generally speaking.. 9.5 width wheels are reported to be rubbing on the front strut unfortunately.

Yeah I would say the wheel size does not fit with stock suspension however the tire size is fine.

You will need coils for the front.
