To answer your question; no,that combo will not work. You can't put 18" tires on a 17" rim. You either need to find an 18x8-18x18.5 rim that with the proper offset for that tire to work or you need to find a 215/45-50/17 tire to work with that rim.


p.s. my tire size for the 17" rims may be off a little.

you dont think a 225/45R17 would work??

yes that could work on a 17x7 rim. Rim width range for that size tire is 7"-8.5"
