I want to put 18" wheels on my GTS and don't know a lot about fitment. The information I have found indicates that I can put 225/40/18's on the GTS with the 16" fitment. Does anyone have experience with installing larger wheels/tires, and can offer advice as to whether I will run into rubbing problems with this configuration. (I have not lowered the suspension.) Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Since the car isn't lowered, you shouldn't have any problems

Thanks for the input, it sure helps. As you probably are aware, as soon as you install a wheel on your car, you own it. I don't want to get stuck with some really expensive Racing Hart's that won't work. Much appreciation!

^ Yes. I don't think that going larger than 18 is any good for your whole setup. 18 is a really good number.
Knowing the path and choosing the path are two different things.
