I have 245/40 on my 18x8 rims, so yes they would fit, but you could easily go wider. That 45 sidewall would be a bit tall, though.

Kabir 245/40-18 would preserve oem circumference and hence speedometer/odometer readings better. Nice wheels btw

You could easily fit 265-275's on that rim width, but, depending on the wheel offset, you may run into trouble with rubbing the fender lip. Dunlop SP's are a good tire. I'm running Falken Azenis St-115's, 245-35/19's, and love them. Great cornering, very good wet traction, quiet on the freeway, and very little $$. In the end, it all depends on what your particular needs are, and how much $$ you want to spend.
