235/40/18, 245/35/18, 255/35/18.

America's/Discount Tire company is where to go. They'll help you out. It's worth it to order and install with them opposed to order from online sites and look for a place to install for you.

We have installers located nationwide that we can ship to for installation. With the wider 18X8.5 wheels depending on the individual tire anything wider cvould actually rub on the fender lip. You could run them staggered with the 225/40R18 front and the 245/35R18 in the rear. In looking at the picture of your car there is not a lot of room left at the fenders.
If I can help let me know.
