Yes. They will fit but you will have more space between the tire and fender. The overall height of the tire will be shorter than the stock size. How much this will affect gear ratios and such is beyond me but it's something to consider. A 245/40/18 is much closer in overall height as the stock size but wider. The price is fantastic. Especially if you don't have to pay shipping.

Notice the overall diameter. The stock Potenza 225/45/18 is 25.9 or 26

How do you get away without paying shipping?

The Ecsta SUPRA is an awesome tire, the Ecsta 712 and 711 suck *****, they are not worth a damn.
