First....there are plenty of thread out there to answer this.

Second....you have typos in your post. I am sure you did not mean a 18x5 wheel.

He posted in the Will It Fit thread, but apparently the OP doesn't feel the answer was adequate.

going on the fact that i think you mean 18x8 +45, no it will not rub, my wheels are 18x8 with a +30 offset, and they don't rub

You could jump railroad tracks with that setup and it wouldn't rub.

don't even know where to start
why would you even start a new thread when you already found the best fitment thread on the forum?
was your question not answered there? maybe because you posted the wrong specs like you did on this thread?
yes it will fit and if you took the time to even look up what a stock wheel's specs are you would know that already

If its not lowered to the extent, then it won't rub.

Our limit is somewhere around 18x9.5 +22 with stock height.
But that also depends on your tires.
