225/40-18 is almost the same diameter as stock. If you want to fiil the gap more, you will have to drop the car.

You can try to find 225/45-18 but your speedometer will be off more.

I hope you are not just buying any rim without researching here first. Have you checked the offset of your new rim to make sure it will fit right?

Actually I didn't check the offset yet, but when you tell me I think I will check it out. I don't know much about rims. I just want it to fill or almost cover the diameter. I will start go around tire shop and search for the right rim. Now i just need what size of tire that can fill the hole that about it. if you can help me out. I am really apreciated.

I did. Read the above post again.

225/40-18 is recommended, but you could try 225/45-18 if you can find that size.

Performance tires don't go above a 45 series (with the width we need) so you may have to look at All-seasons
