Hey Pante

I am not positive on the rubbing issue, but from what I've read I am pretty sure the 18s will fit. As far as I know the factory 18s had the 245s on them, not 255s, but I might be wrong. The 4.2 is wider than the 2.7, but there is no way I could fit 245s on mine (factory size is the 235). Again this might not be the case on the 4.2 though. If you stick your and in under the fender on the top inside of the front tires, you'll feel how little room there is between the tire and the front strut. That will at least give you a rough idea. Hopefully someone else will be able to give you better info.

Anyway, there are many wheel and tire places listed here... http://www.VAGLinks.com
