Default I need some help

I called OE Distributars and they told me that My 18x9.5 with a 65mm offset will fit my car no problem at all with 275/40/zr18's....that means no spacers or anything. Everybody here says i am going to have to do some major work to make them fit. I also want to lower the car 1.5 inches or so. I have made a few posts about this but i have yet to recieve a straight answer. I dont know to much about wheel fitment so help is appreciated.

Wrong size tire. . . Should be 275/35ZR18.
