Biggest wheels possible?

Biggest wheels possible?
What do you think is the biggest wheels possible? I want to rock some 18's on my air suspension setup, but not sure how it'll do. Anyone seen 18's before and what it looks like? And what the ride was like?

Sorry, guys, I misunderstood Andy's answer. It was a 215/35x18 tire, and I still didn't ask what brand it was. So I corrected here. Shoulda known anyway that there would not be a 185/35x18 tire.

We slapped an 18x7" with 185/35x18 tires in place and they fit. The diameter of the tire is 23.1", about .3" less than stock. Looked like a farm wagon though. And would probably ride like one; the tire sidewall is only 2.5". 185/40x18's probably ok too with right wheels. 195/40x18's trifle risky. 205/35x18's likely to work too. On right 7" rims wheels of course, with 42-46 mm offset. And sufficient caliper clearance.

[quote=mimpi;408079]thats some rare tires youve mentioned. never heard 185/35/18 in aus, who made them btw?. smallest i know was 205/35/18 and that was a rare as hens teeth.
Sorry, but I misquoted my shop 4man. The tires were 215/35x18 and are slightly larger than stock but did fit on a stock ride height car. Unfortunately I didn't ask the brand. Should have known better. Good eye.

Good eye.
Even more rare. my fault: I misunderstood shop answer. It was a 215/35x18 tire. I didn't ask what brand. Should have known 185/35x18 would be ridiculous. Getting old.

hmmm...
All I have to say. Don't hate because you're not willing to try it.
People do this with other cars and have no problems. All my xB buddies do this on the daily and drive their cars daily. No problems.
ANYWAYS...
Khanhdom: You are going to need some rear camber as well to help make these fit and look absolutely amazing. I wanna see pics of the wheels please.

actually I decided on against going with 8.5 on the front and going with 7.5 on width and +36 in offset in the front, on the back it will be 8.5 with +20 offset on 18" rims. They are going to be work euroline dh
can't wait hopefully be here by next week!
