Also could someone explain low disk and all that?

Which company? Different disk is for brake caliper clearance. Low disk means the face is flat or doesnt have a whole lot of pad in the back for brake clearance. The benefit of these faces is they usually have the most amount of lip. Then you got the standard faces and High disk faces. High disks are pretty much designed for big brakes, and usually clears anything and everything you can think of (had a buddy clear Ferrari F40 brakes on his R32).
For example:

If you look in there, you can see how different disks will change how much lip you have on the rim, even tho they're the same widths.

anyways will 225/40's be good enough to clear? ill post a pic to show how much its rubbing if thats needed but i wouldnt say its too bad

The difference between 245/45-18 and 225/40-18 is over an inch and a half in diamter. Big difference between the two. Nobody has issues clearing 225/40-18s since thats what almost everybody runs for the fronts (and also the most common tire size for 18s).

Good rule of thumb to follow is 9j +9 for the front and 10j +10 in the rears. Easy enough to remember.
