Front 275/35ZR18 and rear 295/35ZR18. There should be no issues up front, but in back you may need to do some very minor inner wheel well massaging, but if they really are 56 mm offset you should be OK.

What do you mean?

Up front the fender gap at the top, between the wheel and tire will be pretty tight, I'd say less than 2 fingers.

Out back similar.
