18x8 will work. But, they may rub in the back if you go to 245.
It all depends on the offset. What brand?

What's offset?

What does that measure?
And what is that?
I think 235s all around by 45 or 40 should do.
thnx

235/40/18 seems to be the norm for 18s, that's what I'll have Friday--235/45/18 I'm not too sure about. If you do get these, please keep us informed of the rubbing situation as I'm sure a lot of people are interested.

Last year my Kenwood rep let me borrow Kenwood's 2000 Purple Nissan Maxima. What a car! It had 18X8.5" Kaotic rims with 245/40/ZR18 Toyo Proxes. Drove the hell out of it and no rubbing what so ever.

My rims and tires dont rub at all, I think a 255 would even fit fine.

I had 245/40/18's and they didn't rub at all. Now i have 255/35/20 and they rub very rarely. 18's or 19's should be perfect.
