Will the following fit a sedan?
18x8.5 +24 in front (245/40/18)
18x9.5 +25 in rear (275/40/18 eventually switch to 255/35/18)
Or will this looking ****ing stupid.

I would have to run alot of camber to get the right fit, huh?
the rear will sit over 2" farther from stock (52mm)... OEM sits about 10mm sunk in from flush to fender line... so you need to account for about 27mm (a little over an inch).
I don't know how many degrees negative camber equates to an inch... but its going to be more than 3.

If you run a smaller tire out back (ie: 255) those wheels will fit with less than 3 degrees negative camber. How low are you? To pull this off you gotta have the right stance.

If I dont get rid of them, I am going to keep my coupe 18s ( 18x8 +30) but run a 40 series tire (have 45 series now) and drop on either H-techs or Eibach Prokits. Sitting flush right now but too much wheel gap/thick side wall.
stance would be pretty high in order not to run neg camber...

both of those have quite a bit of clearance.
I'm running a 8.5 +15 / 9.5 +20 with -2.75 degrees of neg camber F/R and am lowered 2+ inches. So I believe he should be able to go low enough for it to look good without running more than 3 degrees neg camber.
Just saw that these are 18s, in order to look good you are going to have to be slammed. I'd choose a set of wheels with lower offsets if I were you.

gotcha......
Someone needs to post a chart with mm/in to degree... I figured 1" would be around 3° and of course anything more would be further…
