There's no reason you can't daily drive on 18's. You'll just feel a lot of bumps
Rim Sizes:
17x7 ---> 17" Diameter, 7" wide
Tires:
215/45/17 ----> 215mm tread width/ sidewall is 45% of treadwidth/ rim size

Depends where you live. 18's won't be good for areas with potholes or are rough. Daily driver, go with 17's. I went with 17's with 205/40 and over like railroad tracks or unevenly paved roads they suck!!!
Next tires I'm gonna get is 215/40 or 205/45, just so the sidewalls are bigger. And plus, if you curb your rim with 17's you may recover. But if you curb them with 18's, you may be scarred for life!! haha j/k

i got 18s in the ghetto streets of LA... i've hit a couple pot holes pretty hard and i'm surprised that my rims n tires have been holding up.. but ya ride isnt the best but i think its worth it..
Yeah living in Oregon on these horrible rut ace roads, since we have studed tires here in the winter and major pothole problems I am glad I have 17" with 215/45. But I will say I would have liked the 18" 215/40 instead but oh well.

For a good price on the Konig Tantrums, go to Discount Tire Direct For tires, your best bets would be:
205/45/17
215/40/17 (this is what I got, but my next set will probably be 215/45)
215/45/17
205/45/17
215/40/17 (this is what I got, but my next set will probably be 215/45)
215/45/17
