Yes, yes it IS possible.

. . . if you want your shit to rub.


I'd check your fenderwell clearance and what size tires you'd like to run.

Can you test fit/drive them?

And another thing:

Offset.

What're the offset of those wheels you're looking at? You'll need at least 43mm. POSITIVE.

Just checked again, 18x8s are most likely too wide, unless you're running really thin coilovers.

Are you looking to get 18s for show, or for performance? If you'd like, I can break it down why 18s aren't the best option to improve your handling.

I'd seriously stick with a 17x7 or 17x7.5. an 8" wide wheel/tire combo will definately rub on our BD/BGs

Edit: 17" wheels look much better in proportion to our wheel wells too. 18s would look too large IMO.
