I'm thinking of running 225/40/18 on the front of my s14 with 18x8.5 rims. Right now I'm running 215/40s. So what do you guys think. More info.
18x8.5 w 22 offset fronts
18x9.5 w 12 offset rears with 235/40
Coilovers all around, I don't think it will rub. My main reason is that it seems like to much stretch.

On my s14 i run 235/40/18 on 18x9.5 +12 w/ rolled fenders in front and rear on coilovers and it is perfectly flush, no rubbing. On 18x9.5+12 i would not recommend going any bigger than 235. On 8.5 in the front i would do a 215 if you have a 235 in the rear so the look matches...thats my opinion. People stretch 215s over 9 inch rims all day...so dont worry about stretching over 8.5. But if you prefer 225 go with that.
