Ran 18s along time ago don't think I'll do it again, I went to what ever size tire kept me within OEM diameter with everything else being the same.

Somebody has run 18x9.5's before. I think Palma did but he ran a 215/40/18 iirc. Had to work the fenders quite a bit. Going that big of a setup will run into issues. Most of the guys stay around 17x8ish. Some have been running 17x9's with 255/40's but again, have to work on the fenders.

18'S are doable, just not worth the skinny tire tax. I also like heaving meaty brakes to take up the space in the wheel and 18's started more and more to look funky. Once I got into the 17's, I absolutely think any thickness is perfect on the spec. Obviously like me 17x9 +22 took alot of messaging fenders to look good and not mexiflush. Otherwise I'd stay in the 17x8 range
