Depend on your tire size.
Mine is 225/40ZR18
and it hit the inside fender when it turn,
but it hit only if you turn the steering wheel to the most maximum position.
Hat to cut some inner fender plastic liner and roll the fender too.
the spec for my wheel and tire are written at my signature below.
oh, I also rolled my fender and lowered the car

if you want to put 18in wheel, you should accept the risk of little rubbing or some fender rolling

perhaps if you put 215/35ZR18 wheel, you might have less rub and might not have
to roll your fender (with same offset wheel as mine).

I choose my tire because I want the largest size that can still fit with my 7in wide wheel, I also choose 40 profile so the ride is still comfortable and my wheel will not get bent easily by potholes.

I have 215/35r18's on mine for about a week now. Lowered on Eibach Sportlines. If i hit a bump hard while turning I'll rub but thats it. Going to get some cambolts soon though for looks. :-)
