Default Tire rubbing

Would a 07 Honda civic ex be able to fit 18's with a tire size of 225/45/18? Thanks for any help. And no suspension mods all stock no drop and would the fenders have to be pulled or rolled.

Without listing the offset of the wheels, how do you expect anyone to be able to answer as to whether they'll rub or if the fenders need to be pulled/rolled?

Those tires are way too big for your car. 215/40-18 would be the correct size for 18" wheels.

Thanks for the info but yah i wish i could get the info so easy. Its for my cousins car and he isn't completely into cars to learn all that stuff so sometimes he doesn't even know himself what he would like to do is take the tires from his old rims. He was hoping they would fit whatever new rims he decides to buy so there is no set offset at the moment. The lug pattern is different so he cant use his old rims but they were 18s and the tires he had on them were perfectly new. So he wanted to get new rims that would fit the tire but wasn't sure if they would rub or not with the set up but thanks again.

Double check the aspect ratio, 45 on R18 may run into issues. Conventional specs for 8th gen civics are 225/40.
