I have 235/40R18 on stock (8.0) wheels in front and I can go lock to lock without rubbing. I believe you can go up to 235 mm tires on 8.5" wheels and still not rub.

IIRC the sway bars that come with the X74 kit are the same as the US/ROW M030 kit sway bars. A little stiffer than stock. They are not adjustable.
