If you're talking about just putting the 18" on the front and buying a new set for the back, the offsets are different and your back 18's on the front will stick out about a 1/4 inch more...no big deal, it will look OK but just thought you should be aware of that
Good luck

Yes you can and all you would have to do is buy some more 18's for the rear or go up to 19's which in my opinion looks awesome!
Way to go and save some money plus you could probably sell the 17's and get a little back!
By the way which wheels do you have?
Thanks,Matt

yes as per the above posts you can run 18's on all 4's just make sure the rear tires s are slightly larger or you could have active handling issues.
You can also go to 19 inch rears.
Remember to reprogram your tire pressure monitors

I have all 18x9.5
A +64 mm offset 18x9.5 works good on the frount.

So yes all you have to do is get 2 rims tires for the back and selll the frounts
Like what was said have the backs taller. Wider is better to.

Technically, the wheels will fit but if you have the OEM wheels, you currently have 17" on the front and 18" on the back. Not sure if you want to "rotate" them but if you do, it probably won't look good.
If you're talking about just putting the 18" on the front and buying a new set for the back, the offsets are different and your back 18's on the front will stick out about a 1/4 inch more...no big deal, it will look OK but just thought you should be aware of that
Good luck
