Quick fitment question

My new wheels turned up on Friday and go off to the powder coaters tomorrow. Wheels are 18x8.5 +44. Suspension is lowered on stock Bilsteins. Couple of questions:
* Will I need my guards rolled?
* Will 235/40 18's fit with stock suspension? Guard rolling?

Thanks for that. Was hoping it was the case.
I'm keen on 235/40 as it is closer to the overall diameter of the stock tyre than the 225/40 is. Also, it's a Commodore tyre size so range and prices are great.

My understanding is that there will be some slight rubbing with 235 tyres without guardwork.

rears will rub a little with 235/40/18 with loaded car and bumps at speed.

Conflicting reports there. I think I will just see how I go. Get the rears rolled only if need be.
