The definitive guide
http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/will-these-wheels-tires-fit.286685/

245/35/18 looks like your best option.
What are your offset options?

With the size tires I chose with that offset you will have good knuckle clearance but it's pretty close on the fender, rolling the lip would probably be a good idea, shouldn't have to push out the fender though

Personally seen 2 sets crack under normal driving and the finish chips if you look at it. I guess for free though it's a good deal.
