I'm ready for 255x18's. The last guy I talked to at Tire Rack said they wouldn't fit?

Default 255/45/18 tires have an OD of 27" !!! stock OD you need to maintain is approx 25"
you reallistically will only be able to go with

235/40/18 which is an OD of 25.4"

see link for table<ul><li><a href="http://www.yokohamatire.com">http://www.yokohamatire.com</a</li></ul>

255/35/18 are probably too wide for stock rims
