They look like 40's like mine... 45 is much taller...
On a mid-sized raceway like Streets of Willow and Road Atlanta, those tires should provide a great mid-range and low speed torque range, and gears would be really fun to use on 2-4th. Mine's a paddle AT but manual would even get a bit more closer, involved and tactile in those places with just the right amount of power to keep a big smile on your face every exit of a corner.
You'll love them.

My SSR Type C-RS is a specially made 18x7.5 offset 47 and I use a 20mm oversized long stud and 10mm hubcentric spacer to bring them out to 37 offset. I use 225/40-18 and works wonderfully with or without spacers. I try to keep maximum loading with narrower track on a raceway, and use the spacer to bring it out a tad for cosmetic effect on street use, sacrificing a little leverage drop on suspension loads to keep the ride softer too.
