depends on the offset. you should be fine with 18x9 as long as the offset is +30 or higher. You can fit them if its lower then +30 but you will need to run stretched tires and roll your fenders maybe.

you should be OK in the rear, will def need a fender roll though. The front, not so sure.

With a +10 the wheels will stick out about 1.3" do u guys think its too much? Or will the wheels be flash with the body since in our cars the wheels are tucked in a little?

Another question, they come with 225/40/18, should I upgrade to 235 or 245?

If you have OE wheel offset on the car presently, take a ruler and place it on the lip of the wheel, then look to see where the 1.3" will be......outside the body.

I think 18x9.5 + 35 will have a nice flush look. as 9.5 +22 has some poke, but nothing too drastic

ive got 18x9.5 front , x10 rear. offset +12, running 245/35 tires. no fender roll, no rub.
so 18x9 should be cake.
