Luke- Tire fitment help please...

I picked up some Falken 512's and the rims do not look like they fit correctly. Others on the board said they are the wrong size wheels for the tires. Here are the stats.

FRont: 18x9 on 225/40

Rear: 18x9.5 on 255/35

Most have said that 9 on a 225 are too big. On the Falken home page, it says 7.5-9 will work. But there is a very noticable gap between the wheel and the rim protector of the tire. Your advise is appreciated.
