    245/45 is what most run with 18s, keeps the speedo almost dead on.

    They should be fine it will throw the speedo off by like 2mph and not being lowered I wouldn't think it would rub but other guys who know wheel stuff would know more. 1010tires has a wheel size calculator to show you the differences between sizes.

    Tires will be .58" taller than stock. I'd stick with 245/45 myself.

    245/45/18 is the stock height. You don't fill wheel gap with putting larger tires, you fill wheel gap with lowering.
