Default suspension upgrades for 18's or bigger

i have a 2000 WS6 with a pro kit. I am in the process of getting new rims.I am going with 18x10.5. My question is am i going to have to change my setup so that my tires will not rub. IF they do, I really would not want to roll my fenders. So what are my other options. If anyone has pics of there car with 18 and or 19 could you also state your suspension setup. Thanks

It all depends on the wheel width, tires, etc . . . not enough info to really give you and answer . . .

I have had two different sets of 18" wheels on my car, and the "required" mods varied . . .

why? I will be running 295/30/18's on the back with my 18x10.5 Aero's and 265/35/18's on fronts (18x9.5)

I prefer a shorter sidewall for better steering response.
