Default Do 275/40/18 on 18x10 rims fit all around ?

I'm considering a purchase of 275/40s for mounting on 18x10 "deep dish" rims and would like to know if anyone knows, from experience, whether the front wheel well of an otherwise stock height 08' Mustang GT coupe can accommodate this size tire on this type and size rim without there being any possibilty of "rubbing" in the front wheel wells ? If so, what is the minimum offset required on the rims to accomplish this ?

I'm running 275/40 18" on Steeda ultra-lite 18 x 9.5" +45mm offset with room to spare. Keep in mind that +45mm offset is far from deep dish.

thump rrr, do you know how much your wheels weigh?

Also, where does the tire sit with the fender? (flush, just inside, just outside)

I'm interested in getting the Pentars.
