I don't know if they would rub or not, I know that 45's will throw your speedometer off though... you should go with 40's if you have 18" wheels...

Turn them down. They're just too big around. Get 225/40/18 or 215/40/18.

With the wear that I had on my 215/40-18... I would go with 225/40-18... as I mentioned in another post, a 'tire expert' told me is should have bought 225's with my 18's and not 215's.. the 215 wear quickly on the outside shoulder because there is not enough rubber on the road... again, this is what I was told and what I experienced... I know 215's are allowable to keep your speedo correct and all, I'm just saying from experiecne, the 215's wear quickly on the shoulder (plus they're not cheap either...haha, the 225-40-18's are easier to find at a cheaper price)
