just call your local tire shop... good year.. discount tires.. or whatever.. and ask em..
they would be glad to help.. there there for that...
i once used fucked up advice.. from some *** on a forum about tire size.. and i bought the tires and they ended up rubbing like hell...

But 18's? WHY would you want such big and ugly rims. Don't tell me it's on a civic or a teg. That ruins the car!

The only reason to need bigger rims is to clear bigger calipers and rotors. After that it's just for looks and will just slow you down. I can't imagine how heavy 18's are. Probably atleast 20lbs per rim if there not forged. Even forged 18's are in the mid to upper teens. I love my VX's and can get tires dirt cheap but only good tire I found is Yokohama Advans. Your tires are gonna be super mad expensive for all that useless rubber. Your gonna need a turbo'd car to push those 18's around.
