but whether it is 18x8 et18 or 18x8.5 et18 it will work with 225/40/18.

Here is 18x8.5 et20

I think that the 2mm difference wont matter much

And i have no idea where i got the 18 inch, because there is no mention of that size anywhere.

Can't really help you with 20inch wheels.

I don't recommend specs like that. 20" sizing is a little more tricky than say, 18" or 19" specs, and I wouldn't consider that a bolt on option.

You will probably never be able to turn the steering wheel completely left or right without major rubbing.

Not a good idea.

I have 8.5x18s with ET29 up front, running 225/40ZR and you can see how they fit below. There is still lots of room, but after awhile you have to consider the rub factor with wider, taller tires:
