235/45/18 would be pretty damn huge, I doubt that will fit well if at all.

Im also looking at this set...I know they will fit they are 215/35zr18 ...And i can get them for 500 BUT 2 tires are worn....does anyone have 2 tires that size in good shape??
I actually like this set alot more...dont know why...I think they would look better

Are you trying to copy me......hahaha lol those are kinda similar to mine (colourwise)....I believe that I have about 0.5" of clearance from the suspension upfront. But I believe the back for me is good. I would just  put them on check for clearance that way. No humming and haaing.  Have you gone down to Tires Unlimited? You can get good deals down there.. Just low ball you budget.. Sometimes they'll make it work. I like the FRD a little more than the other as well.

That big it's all going to come down to offset. Right offset and it'll fit well, wrong and you might not be able to turn anymore ;)
