They should clear, but will be very close. 245/35 will fit on the 18x8.5. Camber bolts won't work. You will need more room for adjustment, like with spacers or coilovers.
Does this mean that I will have problems with rubbing, even if I go with the 225/40s? I knew 18x8 +44 would be perfect fitment, but unfortunately that's not an option available to me right now. I have a choice of two different wheels at 18x8.5 +44 (or I have to go a completely different route). I don't think I need to induce any additional camber at 8.5 wide, but I'm open to correction if I've got the wrong idea here.

I'm hoping to avoid having to mess with the suspension until next year when I can do a full suspension replacement (coilovers, LCAs F/R, R toe arms, sway bars, end links, bushings).
