Default Quick rim/tire question

I'm about to order these to roll on for now until I find a nice 20" but got few questions, and currently using my stock 17" for winter.

1.The one I'm getting are 18", these will fit right?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

2. It says 18x8 but I'm not sure if 18x(?) matters for fitment or not, because I've seen 18x7.5,18x9 etc? which one is the right fit?

I'm planning to run 245/40/18(like stock GS)

Quick help would be appriciated, about to click the BIN button today lol, need to change asap as I'm still driving with winters

i'm pretty sure those will fit no problem. not bad looking either. i think 18x8 with those tire specs is the widest you can go without rubbing.

I have 18x8s all around on my car, Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum 245x40s... it works fine without coming close to rubbing. Of course I also have the offroad style awd suspension package...
