18x7.5" wheels for winter?

I can get a set of 18 x 7.5" wheels with a 40 offset for a great deal, but i'm unsure if they will fit my 08 Evo X MR. I plan to run 225/45R18 winter tires on these wheels. Has anyone successfully put this combo on their X? I'm concerned as to whether they will clear the front Brembos.

Any input is appreciated!

If the wheels are that good of a deal, just get some 15mm spacers and that'll bring you down to +25.

Just for reference, I fit 245/45 drag radials on a 7.5in wide rim.
