i am thinking of 8x18 front and 9x18 rears wheels. would stock rf tires fit or would i need new ones? if new, any advice on which to get - rf or otherwise?

thanks.

Stock RFTs will fit. The fronts will be a little more stretched but will work.

thank you

You're welcome. Be very careful of the wheel offset for both front and rear on the new wheels or you could have fitment issues. Test fit before buying if possible. As a guideline I'd suggest the following offsets for 18x8 and 18x9 give or take a couple mm:

Front 42mm

Rear 45mm

I'll second this recommendation. 18x8 and 18x9 in these offsets will be very near flush with the fenders. Lower offsets can work but then you start bordering on sticking out of the wheel well.
