Unless you're super addicted to the looks of the 18's or getting a killer deal on tires, I would suggest dropping down an inch or two in rim diameter to cut tire prices.

With anything wider then a 10.5" tire you will need wheel spacers to run the factory rims. It will get you a net backspacing of 4.75" which is pretty standard even when buying aftermarket wheels.
