Default 245-40-18... will it rub?

The car is a 2005 xA RS 2.0 with stock suspension. I came across a set of wheels and tires with a double bolt pattern for 4x114.3 and 4x100. Two of the tires are 245/40/18 and the other two are 225. I should be ok running this combo on stock suspension right? Offset is 32mm. Thanks!

Do they all have a different brand tire on them?

Unfortunately yes -_- hoping that doesn't affect it too bad.

So today I test fitted them, and found that they contact the brakes in the front. I didn't test the rear. They are not 32mm offset as I was told. They are 42mm offset. Wheel size is 18x7.5. I want to make these wheels work though! So, I'm thinking maybe a spacer to get the wheel away from the brake, maybe only need like 5mm of space, but without making the wheel stick out too much. Also, would I need to put in longer wheel studs? Seems like with these wheels they are barely long enough.

If I need any of the aforementioned, anyone know a place for these kind of parts? Thanks a lot!
