Here's where you need to get into wheel width, offset and tyre size. All been covered many times before so have a search.

18's aren't impossible but..... will look pretty horrendous at standard ride height.

The good:

No they wont. The shock spring cup will sit on the tyre.  Definitely need coilovers.

Pointless and will look daft at standard height plus will be horrid to drive.

Lowered with 16" is the better option.

18s?  Jesus 17  look horrendous.  16  is perfect, 15 of you want to go really low
