those are way too narrow.
they will technically fit, according to the tirerack's spec chart for an 8.5" wheel but cosmetically they will look like hell IMO.
also the OD is 25" and the stock sized 275/40/18 is 26.7 so your rake will be pretty dramatic...you'd probably end up looking like a stink bug.

Too narrow and too short, your handling and aesthetics would both be off.
