Agreed.You could put stock springs back on.Those tires will fill up fender space good enough and give you a nice little rake.GL

45 is for a 16 inch wheel not an 18, I think you might want to sell the tires. Will toss off abs.

You need adjustable lower control arms to center the wheel in the well better, and even then you may have to trim the inner edge of the back bumper to get them to clear.
