Will 235/40-18 Bridgestone RE-71R on 18"x8.5" +42 RAYS 57Xtreme Wheels Rub?

I hate to cross-post, but I posted this in the 'Will this fit...' sticky thread yesterday and didn't get a response, and I need to purchase tires immediately. So, once again:

Will a 235/40-18 Bridgestone RE-71R fit on my 18"x8.5" +42 RAYS 57Xtreme wheels without rubbing? My car sits one inch lower than OEM on MCS coilovers with 8K Swift springs square at all corners and was built mainly as an extreme road toy. Is this the tire size you guys would recommend, or is there another size that makes more sense (maybe a 225/45-18 or 245/40-18)? Of the available sizes for the RE-71R, the 235/40-18 seems to offer most footprint with the least increase in diameter, but maybe I'm missing something and I need a little guidance before I pull the trigger on tires in a few days.

Basically, I'm looking for feedback on tire size and confirmation that I won't have any problems with rubbing or fitment in general. Thanks for the help in advance!

You're on coils with a moderate wheel width, moderate offset, moderate tire size. It'll fit fine.

@gramicci101 I thought so, but I was looking for confirmation from an expert - and the last few times I've posted, you've been that expert! As always, thanks man!
