that would be oversized, and would likely rub i think. no to mension may just look kinda off having a high wall on a 18in rim

I've got 215/35/18. You could probably get away with 215/40/18.

215/40 or 215/35 would be best

I would guess that would rub, but not too bad. A 40 or below profile would probably work better.

Why would you want to put that size tire on? I think the 40 series look thick on an 18, but a 45?............

it'll fit its just it'll look ugly.. way too thick for 18s.. even 40s is kinda too thick for 18s.
with 215-45-18s, you could probably drop your car 1.75" the lowest. you will have no gap and a bodykit will be a must cause it'll look too high.

i have 215-40-18 on neuspeed sports and even this setup looks really high. i think 225-35-18 would be perfect(might rub a lil tho). 35s are a lil too thin. i believe torreto has something like 225-45-18s or was it 225-40-18. i think its 45, dropped on ground controls, he rolled the rear fender and gutted the front fender well. he has a kit so it doesnt look to badd, not sure if he still has pictures on here tho...
