I think the wheel sizes are OK, but your tires should be 215/40/18 and 245/35/18. The size you mentioned for the rear would be way too tall.
Are you lowered?

You really need at least an 8" rear wheel to run the 245/35R18 so I would say it is not a good fit. Your car would also handle better with a little stagger front to rear.

Jim can correct me if I'm wrong here, but you don't have a lot of choices if you can't run a 245 in the rear (Jim's advice.)
You want to be sure you have stagger in your tire widths front to rear. Since you can't run a 245 in the rear, you'd probably want to run a 225/40 or a 225/35. In the front you'd want to use a 205/45, but you'll probably have a lot of difficulty finding tires in that size. So you could try a 215/40, but that's not much of a width difference, so your S will tend to oversteer easily. Other sizes are going to be too short or too tall to work properly.
Good luck. Hopefully Jim will chime in again on this thread.
