Go with 255/40/18. Your handling will most likely suffer, depending on your choice of tires. 255/45/18 is for 6th gen.

offset is also important in relation to the maximum tire size you wanna run

here is mine with 265/45, 38mm offset 17x9

Yes it will fit. Make sure you get rims w/ correct offset though
