245/40/18 on Stock rims is OK?

I am looking at the Toyo T1Rs for my stock rims since quite a few ppl like them a lot on the 8 as their summer tires on both dry grip and wet traction. Most stated they have 245/40/18 so I'd like to know how well they fit on the stock rims (I believe stock tires are 225/45/18).
Do I have to roll the wheelwells?
Anyone have problems with rubbing?
Load limitation due to clearance? (not that I load down the 8 but never know)
Other adjustments to fit the tires?

Thanks.

No problems whatsoever with 245/40. I also have T1Rs, they are great tires and fit fine on the stock rim. I am also lowered quite a bit on coilovers and there are no issues.

I'm sure you will be very happy with them.
