I notice that your car has the SPORT package and the 19" wheels. Are we sure the 18" will fit over the brakes? I don't know either and I sure wouldn't want to buy wheels and tires then find out they will not fit..............

Yes, because in Australia, Middle East (and some other continents) 14" AKEBONO brakes are offered with 18" OEM rims. They clear the bigger brake.
