Hi there, I dont think they will be 8" wide. I've got 215 tyres on mine and i'm sure my wheels are just 7". Yours are probably more like 7.5". Is the car sitting lower than standard?

Well as 404BHP stated above you could change to 205's. I know it doesnt help but - why 18's??? I even think about going down to 16" sometimes because of the state of the roads.
