I want to upgrade my wheels and tires to 18". What size tire, width and offset would you guys with 18" suggest? Do I have to do larger in the rear then in the front? Or can I go with the same size all around? Like 225/40/18? I did a search and I could not find any straight and simple answers.

Much appreciation

There really is no straight and simple answer. You can run a number of different wheel and tire sizes in the 18" on the car. The offset is going to be around 48mm front and 55 to 65mm offset rear. The 225/40R18 front and 255 or 265/35R18 rear are all good choices.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Thanks, Jim. Good to hear from a fellow Hoosier. Can I do the same size front and rear and still be ok? I really don't want to go that big in the rear. I appreciate the help and will contact you when I find something out further.

Jim@tirerack

I suppose you can do the same size but I don't think it will have an advantage for handling on the car. As long as the tires arre the same height front and rear you are ok on the car. The 225/40R18 alll the way around will work on the car.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

Jim, What is the bolt pattern? And the offsets you gave me in the earlier post is that stock?

Jim@tirerack

The bolt pattern is 5-114.3 and stock offset is 55 front and 65 rear.

Jim, If I go with 225/40/18 all around what offset would you suggest?

Jim@tirerack

You would want to be around 18X8 and 48 to 50 mm offset should work on the car.
Let me know if I can help.
