TireRack says go with a 225/45/18

In comparison to????? Remember this for questions about sidewalls: 225 is the width of the tire in mm. 45 is 45% of 225mm is your sidewall. You know what the 18's is for.

Eh you need 245s.... I have 235s on my 18X8s and its too small. Maybe even 255s would be good for you
