you should be fine with 18s depending on the offset.....and 225/40 is what most members have...and welcome to the boards..also....with a drop to, you should be fine....

if you throw on 18's with the stock suspension set up, your gonna get that "off road" look. i had 18s on my car before i knew any better and did my suspension, so the car was lifted too high. id say spend the money on the drop first.
