18'' Rims On My 97' CL

Hey Guys Just got a first gen CL 2 weeks ago, its in great shape and to my convenience I met someone on craigslist selling a 4 set of Montegi ff7 18 in gunmetal for 100 bucks( after 3 days of persuading) . I currently have stock p205/55/16 and I don't know if its going to fit on the car. Will it rub the wheel well or Frame? I also have stock suspension, so it looks pretty close. Any help would be much appreciated !

it should fit. but if you are planning to drop the car. drop the car first , then plan what rims you want to fit on.

I'm running 18's with about a 2 inch drop and have no rubbing issues, it really depends on the drop and how thick and wide your tire is.

Im running 18x7.5 all around, dropped 2 inches, fenders rolled a bit. No rubb. I actually want more of a sick staggered stance and of course 5 lugs got more options then 4 lug, so im trying to see how to convert.
