My wheels are 20 x 10, and they just come to the border, with 255 tires. If I lowered the car they would rub, however, 18 x 18.5 shouldn't reach the fender, and should not rub. You won't have anything to worry about.

i went with the apex springs because they lower the car more than h&r's both having 1.5" drop but smoother than the eibach. my wheels are 18x8.5 all around and they don't rub even with 5 ppl in the car and i have 245/40's. i have seen a max with 18x11 on the rears and no rubbing.
