you can probably get away with 215/40/18's as long as you keep your offset at 45-43mm. a lot of guys use 40mm and that's just too freakin' sticking out from the front fender for my taste. even with 45mm offset 215/45/17's i think the front tire is too far outward. but hey, i can always pop on a offset spacer for the rear, I guess to balance it out.
if you're planning to street race and stuff, stick with your factory wheels, lower your ride and get stickier tires.
