A couple things about stock 18's - they need spacers to look flush. I'm using stock 18's as my winter wheels (powdercoated flat black) and have 25mm front and 20mm rear spacers. Some good news is that v2 spacers work in these lengths and with these wheels so no stud replacement is necessary. The other thing about the stock 18's is they're an inch narrower front and rear (compared to the OEM 19's), so tire sizes also shrink. This is great for winter setups but not ideal for other seasons or climates. I know Mike has had some wheels widened and it sounds like it's worked out well for him - maybe he can point you in the right direction if you want to go that route. GL.
