They won't fit, but only because you said "no modifications." That size of wheel and tire can fit, but it requires the fender lips on the rear to be cut or rolled back. Offset is critical. It would need to be about 10-15mm on the rear and about 15mm on the front. You may still get these to fit without cutting/bending/hammering if the car is at stock height, but I doubt it.

With too much offset on the front (25mm on an 8" wheel), the tire rubs the strut assembly. Coilovers on the front would allow even wider tires.

18x8 with 225/40 can fit a lowered car with no rubbing with a proper offset and cut fender lips.
