If it's dropped a whole lot you may have problems. Should fit though, you'll just need some tires with very little sidewall.

so do you think 215/35/18 or 215/40/18 would work and how much drop do you think would be to much?

probably the 215/35s. 2.5" is the max I would say for the drop.

If you don't have as much drop, the 215/40's should be ok.

I have 17's with 215/45's with no problems and a good 2-2.5 inch drop.

Will fit your car with slight modifications to the front and rear fenders, if your not into rolling your fenders out then forget it and stay with a 17" tire and wheel combo..

If you go with a 215/40/18 it should maintain stock tire size...

Rolling the fenders is basically where they take the fenders and bend or Roll the outside lip of them up/out a tad bit to allow more tire clearance.

I have a buddy with 225/35/19 on his lowered and his no problems with rubbing. 18's should be just fine.
