I agree with blackmercedes ... 17" wheels will give you more tire selection.

I recently purchased a set of 17" Intra Signum wheels from Bekkers that had a 35ET (stock fitment). Luke from Tirerack sold me a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE730 (215/45-17) and for $125 a piece, it is a great value. I have a stock suspension set-up. I only experience some tire rubbing from the front. I am considering rolling the fenders.

Now, if you are still planning on 18s, get ready for some vehicle mods. Sure the'll fit, but the odds are, it's not going to be a "bolt-on".

I would suggest staying away from 18" wheels on a 201 chassis 190. 17's however, as others have mentioned, do offer you better selection at better cost.
