They would fit but I wouldnt do it. 18s look way too big and are too heavy for our car, they will affect the performance. 17s look great and cost less!

how high are they...225/?/18

I have 225/40/18 and I had to cut my plastic inner fenders in the front so I could turn and I have slight rub in the back over big bumps. but a lot of people here on the board have no problems.

Do you have a pic of the 18's? I'd like to see them before I comment.

ive got 18's on 225/35's and they are fine. easy to curb rash though. do a search on the forum and theres loads of stuff on wheel sizes.

I'm running 225/35-18's on H&R race with no problems. I once ran a 40-series tire on the same rim with slight rubbing on lock to lock turns. 18's should fit as long as the wheel offset isnt too low. An offset of low 40's to high 30's fits the best on a ti.

Im running 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the rear and no rubbing. I had 245/45/18 for a little while with 10mm spacers and they were rubbing on every turn.

Im running 225/40R18 front and 255/35R18 rear with a 9" offset and no rubbing except for a little in the front on lock to lock turns, easily fixed by modifying the inner fender lining.
