With an 18" wheel there should be no hitting the bumpstop and unless you have some crazy offset you shouldn't rub either. Jack up the rear axle when fitting your tires. I am betting that is why you are having issues. Once you have weight on it, the bump stop is going to sit well inside an 18" wheel.
