Spacers were not used on this setup. I do agree with Jim, I wouldn't run short and slim tires either.

I would do 225/40R18 or 215/40R18 depending on the offset of the wheels and then a 245/35R18 on the rear and run more negative camber. Why run such a wide wheel and such a narrow tire.

my car is about 2inches low, 1 inch clearance/gap between the stock tires (F&R) and fender. if i do get this tires for my car(225 40 & 245 35) with 38 offset would this work with fender roll? would fender rolling damage my paint,I just got my car painted...

If you can find someone reputable to roll then the chance of cracking the paint can be minimized. The alternative is not rolling and ripping your bumper straight off.
