225-45-18 tires ?

Hi guys I'm planning to change the tires for some good 225-45-18 tires I'm running 235-40-18 and in the rear fenders I had to roll the fenders because the tires were rubbing now I'm wondering if the 225-45-18 will do the work what do you think ?

Now I'm on Volk CE28Ns 18x8.5 +30 with 245/40/18 rears rolled and I rub slightly when backing out while turning..
