Wheel size has nothing to do with it; tire size does. A 215/45/17 tire will have the exact same diameter as a 215/40/18 tire (or 235/35/18 or 255/30/18).

Thanks. Yeah, I was told to change the tire size to make it work, I just haven't been able to figure out which size tires go with it. I'll try the sizes you gave.

If, for whatever reason, it just doesn't "click," TireRack lets (forces) you to choose from wheels and tires they've determined will fit your vehicle. It takes the guess work out of upsizing wheels, for newbs.

you want the same overall diameter, if you're increasing the diameter of the rim, you need to reduce the sidewall of the tire so its the same overall size
