HEY! IMPRESS your friends with T-I-R-E K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
quick and easy way of reading tires (215/45ZR18)
215 BEAD TO BEAD (___)
45 (READ 45% OF OF THE 215. THAT MAKES THE SIDEWALL HEIGHT)
Z SPEED RATING
R radial ply tire
18 rim inches
read all of this OR the parts you need. I'd say 95% is agreeable

Rep Power: 0 to answer my own question maybe? those ons will fit i think because on that site i went to vehicle selection and it was one of the ones that it suggested for the rim size.?

Rep Power: 288 yeah
should work but like I said if you have to do a lock turn (turning wheel all the way to one side) it might rub but then again it might not. depending on what trim level you have...ex might lx dx etc. might not.. just don't live in an area with hair pins 
other than that you should be ok
