depends on the weather

wheel specs are appropriate for your car but, not the tires

the tire sizes you need are 225/40-18 front and 255/35-18 rear

235/265 would be really tight but might work with some tweaking of the alignment (more negative camber)

just to give a heads up...i drove to portland with the stock 17", and traded for the 18" with 245/40 and 275/35 and they fit and dont rub.

thanks for the responses.
