Default 18" Jeep Rubicons on XB

Hey there folks. I'm looking at a set of 18" Jeep Rubicon wheels for sale locally and they look like they might work for my 2012 XB. The wheels stats are as follows:
18x7 et45
71.5 center bore

My Xb is lowered on K-Sport springs with the fronts cut 80% of one coil . This basically drops the car to DF210 stats.

It looks like with 205/40R18 tires will have a baby stretch and with a 10mm spacer it will be flush without intruding on the suspension side of things. Do you guys think this will work or is even correct??? I'd greatly appreciate any assistance from some experienced folks on here. Thanks!!!

I'm assuming it's the JK chassis Wrangler? If so, you'll need adapters. They have a 5x127mm bolt pattern.

You won't have to run a spacer. You should be fine. You could also run a taller tire if you do feel so inclined.

I want to keep the overall wheel/tire diameter close to stock so the speedometer is minimally affected.

You would be closer with a 215/40 if you want to stick near stock diameter and have more tire choices. Less stretch of course.
