Default Quick rim/tire question

I'm about to order these to roll on for now until I find a nice 20" but got few questions, and currently using my stock 17" for winter.

1.The one I'm getting are 18", these will fit right?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

2. It says 18x8 but I'm not sure if 18x(?) matters for fitment or not, because I've seen 18x7.5,18x9 etc? which one is the right fit?

I'm planning to run 245/40/18(like stock GS)

Quick help would be appriciated, about to click the BIN button today lol, need to change asap as I'm still driving with winters

That link doesn't work for me, but, anything from 18x7.5 to 18x9, +30 to +45 offset, and 5x4.5" bolt pattern will fit just fine...

Width does matter, but, if you are just looking for something different than stock, but not necessarily extreme, it doesn't matter that much...

That tire size will work across the range of wheel widths 7.5-9", but is best, IMO, on an 8" wheel...

Don't put a 245 on a 7.5" wheel. An 8" wheel will work okay, but if you have the fender clearance a 9" wheel, that would be ideal. Then again, it really depends on the type of driving you plan on doing.
