What are they 18 x ___ ? If it is a 18x8 I'm almost a 100% possitive that it is 255. My buddy is running 18x8 with 245'* and a 45 sidewall. I dont think that you want to go wider, the 245'* pull the car HARD trying to follow the contors of the road.

Offset matters too. You may be able to run uber-wide rims/tires, but that could come at the expense of having your wheels stick a couple inches out beyond your fender
